Report Scheduler

Report Scheduler is a Distribution SX.e module that uses jobs, job groups, and print queues to schedule stored report for processing. Although Report Scheduler handles all one-time reports, it is with stored reports that Report Scheduler offers the most in reporting service management.

Report Scheduler uses these major components to prioritize stored report processing:

  • Print queues
  • Job and job groups

At the bottom of the scheduling hierarchy are single stored reports. If a report is scheduled to run on a certain date and at a certain time, but is assigned to a queue, the scheduling for the queue takes precedence over the schedule set up for the stored report. A report is not run before its scheduled date and time have passed. It may be run later than its scheduled date and time depending on other priorities within Report Scheduler. Because of this scheduling hierarchy, you should monitor your queues and jobs to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Report Scheduler uses the Report Viewer context application to display report results on your screen.
