john cullen Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 one schedule can have 5 tasks (different report), sent to the same distribution. Is that what you mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Beagan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 A ReportCaster schedule can have multiple tasks, each task can run a fex. Is that what you are looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Trowbridge Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yes- I would like to have 1 ReportCaster schedule deliver the output from 5 different .fexs to an SFTP site. When I tried to schedule 2 tasks in one schedule to deliver via SFTP- I got a notice that said only 1 task allowed for FTP schedule. We are on 8207 in the cloud. Thank you for your help!

Dirk Kuerbig Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hello Barbara, WebFOCUS 8.2.07 (later releases, I dont know when exactly) introduced the concept of not only scheduling reports and files, but also to be a master wrapper to schedule other schedules. So if you cant in a single schedule send 5 SFTP schedules, an alternative is to create 5 schedule definitions, and create this master ReportCaster schedules to sequentially trigger the execution and send the results to wherever you need them to go. Here are some screenshots, in my example 1 procedure (parameterized) of course it could come from 5 totally different procedures. 5 schedules (schedule 1-5, sending individual parameters to the procedure) 1 master schedule that controls the execution of the 5 schedules Hope this helps Dirk image.png19201080 171 KB image.png19201080 109 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Waybright Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I missed that! Thanks for sharing, this will be really helpful once we migrate to 8207! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Trowbridge Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Thank you, Dirk- this would be very helpful! We have quite a number of schedules that we could combine- since they are delivered to the same site; and this would make the maintenance of these schedules a bit more manageable for us. Kind regards, Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Trowbridge Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi Debra- I think Dirk said he wasnt sure what version it will be offered in. But are you attending the Tibco WebFOCUS Better Together session today They are presenting Version 9 and Im hoping they have a Q&A where we can ask about ReportCaster.
