A report instance will not run until you tell OpenEdge Management to run it immediately or you schedule it.
To run a report immediately:
1. If the report's Summary page is not displayed, choose the report from the Defined Reports page. The Summary page appears.
2. From the Summary page, click Run Now. A message appears acknowledging your report request.
After you run the report, you can view the output by clicking View Last Output File. See the Viewing report output for more information.
To schedule a report to run at another time:
1. If the report's Summary page is not displayed, choose the report from the Defined Reports option. The Summary page appears.
2. From the Summary page, click Schedule. The Report Schedule page appears.
3. Choose a start date and time.
4. Determine the repeat interval: One time, At startup, Weekly from date, Monthly from date, Every 5 minutes, Every 15 minutes, Every 30 minutes, Every 60 minutes, Daily, or Cron expression.
Use cron-based scheduling when you need a report to run at a specific time, such as according to a business period interval (on the last Friday of the month, or every ten minutes from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. daily, for example).
You can include from one to five cron expressions (separated by semi-colons) in the Cron expression field in a job schedule. Once you click in the Cron Expression field, you can click Assist for help in choosing the month, day, date, etc., which will then be translated into cron expression format for you.
For more details about using cron expressions, click the Cron expression field Help button or see the chapter on jobs in OpenEdge Management: Resource Monitoring.
5. Select which days to include.
6. Select the Enabled check box (if it is not already selected).
7. Click Save.
After the report's scheduled run, you can view the output by clicking View Last Output File from the Summary page.
