Hello,
I would like to start an Eventtriggered report. I thought that the macro would start when it recognizes that a model is unlocked.
Explanation: If the process is started via the release workflow, the process is with the releasing person and the model is locked for this time. After the process has been released again, the model is unlocked. This should serve as a trigger to execute a specific report. Unfortunately, we have such an event trigger.
Does anyone have the same problem and has found an alternative solution?
Thx in advance,
Stephan

Hello Stephan,
if you want your report to run after the unlocking of a model you would need to bind it to the workflow as an automated task, similar to the webservices that are part of the workflow model dbs.
Macros and report scripts use different APIs. In short, macros are client side scripts which can be triggered by events, whereas reports are executed on the server (cf. https://ariscommunity.com/users/eva-klein/2010-11-15-difference-between-aris-report-and-macro ) The available events are based on user interaction as triggers (open db or model, change an attribute etc.)
