Scheduling Custom Reports

The following steps are involved in creating a scheduled task.

1. Click the Schedule tab, and click the 'Schedule Report' link to the right of the schedule. This creates a new task with the name 'Task1'.

2. Next, click the 'Edit' button to modify this new task. You must set the desired conditions and actions. We discuss these in the next chapters.

A schedule condition is used to determine when the schedule task executes. There are six types of conditions: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Run Once, Chained, and User Defined.

Chained Condition

A chained condition is based on the completion status of another schedule task or a schedule cycle. The condition evaluates to 'true' only when the specified task or the cycle completes successfully.

User Defined Condition

In addition to the 'Run Once' and 'Chained' conditions, 'User Defined' conditions can also be used for a schedule task. This is an advanced topic that only applies to administrators and developers. In order to use a 'User Defined' condition, do the following:
• Create a class which implements 'inetsoft.sree.schedule.ScheduleCondition'.
• Place this class on the CLASSPATH
• Select the condition type to be 'User Defined'

Specify its fully qualified class name in the Condition tab of the task definition

Specifying Multiple Conditions

It is possible to specify multiple conditions. Click on the 'Multiple Schedules' button at the bottom right of the editing panel. This will display the schedule condition list to which you can add, delete or edit conditions by clicking on the 'Add', 'Delete' and 'Edit' buttons respectively.
