Effective report schedules

Whenever you select a cyclical or continuous report run type, you can also set a time interval between the repeated cycles. This time is specified in minutes.

Consider these factors when you specify time intervals on a report schedule in SA Table Code Value Setup:

• The amount of time it takes the reports to print. Do not repeat a print cycle before the reports have finished printing the first time.
• The amount of time it takes for the data to be updated in the system before printing the reports again.
• The interval needed to meet the requirements of the reports.
• The purpose of the reports
• The time frame in which employees and management require the reports
• The frequency in which new reports are needed
• The execution intervals effects on the system. Do not use repeating job groups with intervals that cause system-loading problems.
