User Task

If you select User Task to publish your reports, you can implement a customized task with schedule properties. This option 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.

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 option 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 Run Linked Report if you want to generate the linked reports (not including the detail reports) in the result when the report is linked with other reports. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unselected. Generating linked reports at the same time will cause performance issue, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data.
  • Precision Level
    Specifies the precision level with which to publish the report result.

    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 option 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.

    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 option 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 Run Linked Report if you want to generate the linked reports (not including the detail reports) in the result when the report is linked with other reports. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unselected. Generating linked reports at the same time will cause performance issue, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data.
  • Precision Level
    Specifies the precision level with which to publish the web report result.

    Changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.

  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in PDF format.
• Excel
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in Excel format.

• Archive as New Version
  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.

Result Auto-delete

Specifies the deleted date of the result. Set the result to be automatically deleted within one hundred years. If the time you specify exceeds one hundred years, Logi Report Server will keep the report result forever.

  Specifies a period after which the report result will be automatically deleted.
• Result Expires After
  Specifies a certain day on which the report result will be automatically deleted.

• Example for server resource tree: /report1.rst
• Example for server disk path: C:\temp\report1.rst

When publishing a page report, if you choose the Logi Report Result and Page Report Result formats, you need only provide one file path because all selected report tabs will be output into one file. For other formats, if you leave the Export to One File option in the General tab unselected, you need to specify a file path for each selected report tab.

    Select Run Linked Report if you want to generate the linked reports (not including the detail reports) in the result when the report is linked with other reports. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unselected. Generating linked reports at the same time will cause performance issue, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data.
