Specifying the Batch Destination and Bursted Output Labels

  To select batch destinations:

1. From the Destinations area, select any actions:

   • Save As Snapshot in Repository: selecting this option enables the In Same Folder as Original Object and In Another Folder options. Perform an action:

     • Select In Same Folder as Original Object to save snapshots and snapshot books within the same folder as the original report or book in the repository.

     • Select In Another Folder to save the output to another location in the repository. Click Folder to select a destination folder in the repository, then click OK.

       Note:

       Selecting Save As Snapshot in Repository enables File Permissions. File Permissions allows you to assign access to users and groups for snapshot output.

   • Print to—The default printer is displayed. Select a different printer and printer settings.

   • Export as PDF—Export the batch as a PDF file on the scheduler server. To export to an external directory, select Export to an external directory. To attach the reports as e-mail attachments, select E-mail as PDF Attachment(s). To zip the e-mail attachments, select Zip PDF(s). To print annotations with the report, select Print Annotations, then select Details to specify how annotations should be printed. See Setting Annotation Printing Preferences.

     Note:

     Annotation printing preferences are one-time setups for a specific batch; they are not saved as global preferences.

     The output of a generated batch will differ from HTML output:

     • The template.css file is ignored. Thus, any formatting defined in the template is not applied.

     • If the batch includes Microsoft Word documents with the FRExecute function, the resulting output depends on the design of the Microsoft Word document:

       • If the FRExecute function was entered in a text box , the resulting output is sized to fit the parameters of the text box. The designer should size the text box according to the scope of the FRExecute content.

       • If the FRExecute function was entered on the top of the Microsoft page (not in a text box), the resulting output is presented as specified in the Financial Reporting designer.

   • Export as HTML—Export the batch as an HTML file on the scheduler server. To export to an external directory or a network drive, select Export to an external directory. This option does not support batch bursting.

     Note:

     When Export to an external directory is selected, the enabled drop-down menu is populated by folder locations specified in theJConsol.exe file. For information on JConsole, see the “Property Information” topic in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Workspace Administrator's Guide. The value for this are: FolderLabel1,FolderPath1,FolderLabel2,FolderPath2, and so on.

   • Export as MHTML—Export the batch as a single file on the scheduler server. To export to an external directory or a network drive, select Export to an external directory. This option does not support batch bursting.

   • Bursted Output Labels — The Object Label and SubFolder Label fields display two default text functions that can optionally be used to identify the report and the report's subfolder names, respectively. Click to select additional text functions. Click to test the functions. The available functions for bursted reports are:

     • <<MemberName()>> — Returns the name of the member being bursted. This function takes no parameters.

     • <<MemberAlias()>> — Returns the alias of the member being bursted. This function takes no parameters

     • <<MemberDescription()>> — Returns the description of the member being bursted. This function takes no parameters.

     • <<BatchPovMember(“DataSrcName”,”DimName”)>> — Returns the name of the POV member being bursted where DataSrcName is the name of a data source of the desired POV (a batch can point to two or more POVs) and DimName is the name of the dimension under the given POV whose member name is to be extracted.

     • <<BatchPovAlias(“DataSrcName”,”DimName”)>> — Returns the alias of the POV member of the report being bursted where DataSrcName is the name of a data source of the desired POV (a batch can point to two or more POVs), and DimName is the name of the dimension under the given POV whose member alias is to be de extracted.

     • <<BatchPovDescription (“DataSrcName”, “DimName”)>> — Returns the description of the POV member of the report being bursted, where DataSrcName is the name of a data source of the desired POV (a batch can point to two or more POVs), and DimName is the name of the dimension under the given POV whose member description is to be extracted.

     Note:

     When POV-related functions (BatchPovMember, BatchPovAlias, and BatchPovDescription) are added, the parameter values must be surrounded by double quotes For example: <<BatchPovDescription(“Essbase sample basic on ProdServer1”,”Product”>>. where “Essbase sample basic on ProdServer1” is the data source name and “Product” is the dimension name.

     • <<FinancialReportingObjectName()>> — Returns the name of the Financial Reporting object being bursted. This is typically the report name. This function takes no parameters.

     • <<Financial ReportingObjectDescription()>> — Returns the description of the Financial Reporting object being bursted. This is typically the report description. This function takes no parameters.

     • <<Date(“format”)>> — Returns the date and time that an online report is populated with data, or the date and time a snapshot report is saved, where format is a list of characters enclosed in quotes that define the format of the date and time. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio User’s Guide, Using Functions chapter for a list of all the format date and time characters.

   • Preview Bursting List — Select to preview the CSV bursting list. The list shows the default settings selected for members in the job bursting batch.
