RunAndEmailReport

Emailing a report as an attachment to another user is available in the method RunAndEmailReport(). The attached report will be sent as an ROI file. For viewing the ROI file, download the Actuate Viewer from the Actuate Web site (http://www.actuate.com/resourcecenter/viewerdownload.asp) if you are using the Siebel Web Client. The Developer Web Client includes the Siebel Report Viewer that will allow viewing of the ROI file.

However, the following limitations do apply:

• You can only use this method for generating and then emailing that specific report. In other words, you cannot send a report attachment for reports that have already been generated.
• Related user preferences must be set manually within the Actuate Management Console. The report administrator has to specify how each user must handle report completion notification (see Receiving Email Notifications and Adding Report Attachments).
• The email message (besides the particular report) cannot be customized. The format is as provided in the Siebel application.

To configure Actuate to send email (using RunAndEMailReport), run c:\Actuate8\Server\bin\mailinst.exe and setup email profile.

Receiving Email Notifications and Adding Report Attachments

For users to receive email notifications for both successful and failed requests and add reports as attachments (for successful cases), the Actuate administrator must configure the user profile to receive email notification in the Actuate Management Console.

To configure a user profile to receive email notification
