The Report Set and Request Set publishing feature enables you to publish completed reports from a set to the Report Manager Repository. You can set up publishing options for each report in the set, so that every time you choose to publish it each member report can have specific publishing parameters applied and maintained for subsequent runs.
Important: The Report Set and Request Set publishing feature enables the publishing features of Report Manager for completed reports. You must first submit the request set or report set through the concurrent manager to make the reports available for publishing to Report Manager.
The business user flow for this process is as follows:
