You can configure the following settings for scheduled reports:
Send weekly scheduled report:
Select whether to enable scheduled reports. When selected, by default, this runs a scheduled
weekly report on Monday morning at 0:01. For details on configuring a different time schedule,
see the next setting. This setting is unselected by default.
Report scheduled at (Cron expression):
Enter a cron expression that specifies when you wish the report to run, or click the button
on the right of this field to use the Cron dialog to guide you through
the configuration steps. For more details, see the
Configuring Cron Expressions topic. The default cron expression is 0 1 0 ? *
MON , which specifies to run the report each Monday morning at 0:01. For more details
on this syntax, see the section on Cron Expressions in the
Policy Execution Scheduling topic.
Report for the N-th preceding week (0 for current week):
Specifies how many weeks that the configured current week of the report is
before the actual current calendar week (the offset from the present time). The default value is
1 , which generates a report for the full previous week from the scheduled time that
the report is run, and compares with values from the week before that. This means that if the
report is scheduled to run on Monday morning, it includes the full previous week, and not only
those few hours of the current week. If the value is 0 , the report only includes
data from the current week until now, and compares with the values from the previous week. You
can use values higher than 1 to generate a report for any full previous week for
which there is corresponding data in the database.
Don’t delete intermediary report files:
This option is for debugging scheduled reports. PDF reports are generated through several stages.
When this setting is enabled, the temporary files used in the process are not deleted when the
report is sent. These files are stored in the system temporary directory. There are two files for
each report: an XML file with metrics data for the report, and a generated PDF report. This setting
is unselected by default.
