Scheduling reports

You can schedule the reports and folders in your Favorite folder to run at a specific date and time, or at regular intervals.

The QMF Report Center scheduler is based on the Windows scheduler. Make sure the Windows scheduler is running and you have authority to use the scheduler. You will be notified if the Windows scheduler is not running when you try to schedule jobs.

Note:
If you are using an NT machine that does not have the Windows scheduler, only the user whose name was identified as the log-on account for running the "AT" scheduler can schedule jobs.

Check with your system administrator to determine which account is set up on your computer.

Procedure

Select one of the following options to schedule reports if you have the Windows scheduler and the authority to use it:

Option 1

  1. Select Tools--> Set User Information.

    The Set User Information dialog box opens.

  2. Provide user ID and password information.
  3. Check the Remember this password check box.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Select one of the following options:
  6. Click the Schedule tab.

    The Schedule page opens in the Report Properties window.

  7. Select schedule options.
  8. Click OK.

    The scheduled jobs run as a separate process. This enables you to keep working in QMF Report Center while scheduled jobs are running.

Note:
If you set up a daily and monthly schedule in which reports will run once a day, two separate jobs are entered (one for the weekly schedule and one for the monthly schedule).
