Hi Poovi, this is not really possible. A user could always save the report to PDF or Excel after the WebI format returns (after refresh), but I think you want it to go straight to PDF/Excel and this is not possible.

Hi Julian,

Our user want to refresh the report in webi and the report output format should be in excel or pdf in infoview. They need this setting for only few of the reports. Do you have any idea to achieve this by BO itself without going to .net or java interfaces?

Hi Poovi, can you please provide more information. I am unsure of what you are asking? Do you wish to limit Excel/PDF export to only a few reports? If so, this is done through the report’s, or its folder’s security settings.

Is it possible to view only few of the report in pdf or excel format when we are refreshing. can we do this by scripts?

Hi Twarit, I have seen that “Object Package failed due to a component scheduling failure” error before. When I change the logon credentials of the program object to someone different it worked. I have no idea what causes this or why avoiding certain users worksaround the issue. I really should open a case with BO on this, but I haven’t had the time. Try changing your logon credentials and see what happens.

Hi,

Please let me know, how we can schedule a batch file in BO XI-R3?

Just to give you an idea, i have created a package which contains a program and program is pointing to the batch file. The code in the batch file will create a text file.

I wanted to schedule this package/program in XI-R3 but its throwing and error saying ….

Fail on component Yes
Error Message: Object Package failed due to a component scheduling failure

Thanks in anticipation…Twarit
