About RunReport.exe

The TaskMan utility launches a system process (RunReport.exe) to generate a report. The RunReport application then connects to the application database.

Once connected, RunReport queries any user options for running the report, for example, output format or printer name. Once these options are set, RunReport prints the report.

Generally, RunReport is called from the application; however, you can also run RunReport from a command line, specifying connection options, the report name, and report options. This could be used, for example, to run reports directly from an add-on product, or to run reports immediately from a workflow on a client (without having to put the report on a background queue) and then do something with the report’s output in the workflow.

Keep in mind, however, that if you execute RunReport from a command line, you cannot take advantage of TaskMan’s task history and management features.
