can Reportcaster save to a file?

[Barry Hillier]

We current cast a pdf via email but I need to also save an archive copy in a folder.

Hoping someone been able to do this and is willing to share.

If anyone has another approach I should be considering please let me know

Thanks

Assuming that I understand properly your question, here one option

I suppose that RC is performing a fex that produce your report.

So, what you can do is to "ask" the same fex to also save the report somewhere.

Then you create two tasks in RC :

1- To distribute the report where you add a parameter &SAVETO = N

2- To save the report where you add a prameter &SAVETO = Y

Here the sample fex

-DEFAULTH &SAVETO = 'N'TABLE FILE CARSUM SEATSBY COUNTRYBY CAR-IF &SAVETO EQ 'Y' THEN GOTO SAVEFILE;ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF-GOTO ENDRPT-SAVEFILEON TABLE HOLD AS EDA_Folder/MyResult FORMAT PDF-ENDRPTEND-RUN

You could create another schedule for the report that distributes the PDF output to the Repository.Then indicate the folder location within the Repository where you would like it to go. I think it adds a timestamp to the filename of the saved report, so you will have multiple copies saved.
