If it is not necessary to examine report output in the Previewer
(for example, you may have to generate large volumes of output from a fully-tested
report or run several reports in succession), you can run your report in batch
using rwrun
.
This leaves you free to pursue other tasks while your reports are running.
You can run reports in batch mode from the command line, or use a command file to specify arguments. A command file can save you a great deal of typing if you wish to run several reports using the same set of arguments.
You can also use the Reports Server to batch process reports by specifying
BACKGROUND=YES on the command line (valid for rwclient
,
rwcgi
, or rwservlet
)
to run reports asynchronously (the client sends the call to the server, then
continues with other processes without waiting for the report job to complete;
if the client process is killed, the job is canceled ).
