Hi!
I am having trouble scheduling a report. When I get to the point where I need to choose the report I want to schdelue, it is not available in the list. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
With best regards,
Jessica
Hello Jessica,
did you check this information from the ARIS Help on your server?
/abs/help/en/handling/ba/index.htm#65148.htm
You must have permissions to access the report and the report must not have any user interaction (e.g. dialogues). Last but not least it must be able to run with the database as context. Many reports require a context different from the database, e. g. a certain object or model type or a group.
You should be able to see it in the report properties (second page "Context") what context is required. There is also a check mark declaring "Opens dialogues" (first page "General"), which must be cleared. Then the script won't have access to the Dialog component. And finally on the last page of the properties you can see, if there are any restrictions on user groups allowed to use the report.
EDIT: A report is always passed a context it uses to operate on, e. g. a model or an object you want to perform the report with. The properties declare the assumptions the script is making about what it will be passed as context. "Database" is the broadest possible context that you always have, when you schedule a report for execution on a database.
