Modifying Attributes

In a typical batch input file, there are very few attributes to modify. Most attributes are already set properly based on the originally scheduled batch. The following table lists attributes that you are most likely to modify for the associated XML tags.

Table 53. Commonly Used Attributes

Category	Attribute	Description
General	AUTHOR	Displays in the batch scheduler's User ID column and is a useful place to show a comment or the name of the XML file that generated the batch.
Email	ATTACH_RESULTS	Enter a “Yes” or “No” value, depending on whether you want to attach PDF or HTML files generated to the email.
FAILURE_RECIPIENTS	Email to recipients if schedule batch failed
FAILURE_SUBJECT	Text if scheduled batch fails
RECIPIENTS	A comma-separated list of recipient’s email addresses.
	SENDER	The sender’s email address.
	SUBJECT	The subject of the email.
Credentials	DS_PASSWD	The encrypted data source password from an existing batch or that you generate using the command line utility.
DS_USER_NAME	The data source user whose credentials are used for running the reports/books in the batch.
HR_PASSWD	The encrypted Financial Reporting user password from an existing batch or that you generate using the command line utility.
HR_USER_NAME	The Financial Reporting user whose credentials are used for running the reports/books in the batch.
HTML and PDF output	HTML VALUE	Enter a “Yes” or “No” value, depending on whether you want to generate HTML output for the batch.
PDF VALUE	Enter a “Yes” or “No” value, depending on whether you want to generate PDF output for the batch.
	HTML EXPORT_HTML_FOLDER_LABEL	If exporting as HTML (Value=Yes), The path and folder to external directory.
	PDF EXPORT_HTML_FOLDER_LABEL	If exporting as PDF (Value=Yes), the path and folder to external directory.
Snapshot Output	SAVE_AS_SNAPSHOT VALUE	Enter a “Yes” or “No” value, depending on whether you want to save the snapshot output in the repository.
SAVE_NAME	The Folder Name where the Snapshots are to be stored. This must be specified in ReportStore:\\ format. If SAVE_NAME = “”, the snapshot output is saved to the same folder as the original object.
USER_NAMES	Comma-separated Financial Reporting user names who are granted access to the snapshot output.
GROUP_NAMES	Comma-separated Financial Reporting group names which are granted access to the snapshot output. A special system-defined group, called Everyone, includes all Financial Reporting users and can be used to ensure that all users have access to a snapshot output.
Printed Output	PRINT NAME	The printer name, if the PRINT VALUE attribute is set to “Yes”. Note: You must make sure that this printer is available to the scheduler server.
PRINT VALUE	Enter a “Yes” or “No” value, depending on whether you want to generate printed output for the batch.

Note:

In the USER_POV section of the XML file, HIDDEN="0' indicates a dimension which is on the POV and therefore is a candidate or value to be set in the XML file. The value to be changed is “_” in this example.
