User Task

If you select User Task to publish your reports, you can implement a customized task with schedule properties. This property is unavailable to organization users or to bursting reports.

To Version

The To Version tab is for you to specify settings for publishing the report result to the versioning system.

Schedule dialog - Publish tab - To Version

Publish to Versioning System

Specifies to publish the report result to the versioning system. You can publish the result to the following formats:

  • Logi Report Result
    Publishes the page report to a Logi Report result file (RST file). RST files can be exported to HTML, PDF, Text, Excel, XML, RTF and Postscript formats via Logi Report Server. This property is unavailable for bursting result, or when the schedule task contains both page reports and web reports.
    • Zip Result
      Specifies to compress the result to reduce the disk size and I/O; however, it uses more CPU resources.
    • Run Linked Report
      Select if you want to generate the linked reports (excluding the detail reports) in the output when the report is linked with other reports. Generating linked reports at the same time will cause performance issue, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this property cleared.
    • Precision Level
      Specifies the precision level with which to publish the report result.

      Note icon Changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.

  • Page Report Result
    Publishes the page report to a page report result file (RSD file) that can be viewed in a Page Report Studio window. Some reports cannot be published in the Page Report Result format, such as self-contained (CLX) reports, multi-level nested master and subreports, reports containing data objects, and reports developed from a dynamic query or hierarchical data source (HDS). This property is unavailable for bursting result, or when the schedule task contains both page reports and web reports.

    An RSD file is a middle result for page report that can preserve data and the working status of a page report and can be shared with others. Based on the RSD file, you can rebuild a page report to analyze data and to export to other formats. An RSD file is a standalone working file so all the useful information is added into it, such as catalog, report template, NLS, data, parameters and security. The security information of an RSD file is the user of the generator that creates it. When different users open the same RSD, they will get the same result based on the same security configuration. You cannot refresh a report viewed from an RSD file to refetch data from the database. When the system rebuilds a report according to the RSD file, it will only load data from the RSD file. When opening a report RSD, you cannot go back to the actions which the RSD generator took before generating the RSD file but can take actions based on the current RSD resources.

    • Zip Result
      Specifies to compress the result. The compressed file's suffix will still be .rsd, its size will be smaller which reduces IO and disk usage; however, it uses more CPU resources.
    • Precision Level
      Specifies the precision level with which to publish the report result.

      Note icon Changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.

  • Web Report Result
    Publishes the web report to a static web report result file (WST file). WST files can be exported to HTML, PDF, Text, Excel, XML, RTF, and Postscript formats via Logi Report Server. This property is unavailable for bursting result, or when the schedule task contains both page reports and web reports.
    • Zip Result
      Specifies to compress the result to reduce the disk size and I/O; however, it uses more CPU resources.
    • Run Linked Report
      Select if you want to generate the linked reports (excluding the detail reports) in the output when the report is linked with other reports. Generating linked reports at the same time will cause performance issue, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this property cleared.
    • Precision Level
      Specifies the precision level with which to publish the web report result.

      Note icon Changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.

  • HTML
    Publishes the report result to the versioning system in HTML format.

    Specifies whether to use multiple versions for the report result.
    • Maximum Number of Versions
      Specifies the maximum number of versions that will be listed in the version table of the report result. The default value is 0, which means that the version number is unlimited.
  • Replace Old Version
    Specifies to replace the old version when a new version is generated.
