When importing a file or job, you can identify and locate required files by scanning the Production Reporting program, or you can manually enter the required files.
Note: | Scanning the Production Reporting program to locate required files is possible only during the import process. |
As you identify and locate required files, they are added to the required files screen. For generic jobs, you must manually enter required files.
Files that can be associated with a job or Production Reporting document and required for successful execution:
For Production Reporting jobs, Include, Data, Image files, and INI file
For generic jobs, associated files used for running the job
Production Reporting documents and associated files used in viewing the document
This chapter concentrates on required files managed through a listing interface, namely files for Production Reporting and generic jobs and Production Reporting documents. The INI file and the custom-form required files are managed through another interface.
Note: | Scan for required files before manually entering required files, because the scanned results replace the required files list. If duplicate required files are listed, you must delete the extra files. |
Table 82. Job Properties
| Job Properties | Descriptions |
|---|
Name | Required-file name The local file icon next to the name indicates that the file is on your local system. |
Location | Required-file path If the location is not listed, you must find the file by selecting Modify or delete the file. |
Type | The type (INCLUDE, IMAGE, DATA), as determined by the system Manually entered JPEG, GIF, and HTML files are given the IMAGE type. You must select a type for other manually entered files. All files must have a type before you can continue the importing process. |
Action | Retrieve—Open any type of required file Replace—Replace the file with one selected from your local computer or Reporting and Analysis Framework repository Delete—Delete the file Modify—Browse the local system for files that the system could not locate |
Add Files Manually Note: Scanning is available only during the import process. | Default method to locate required files for a job You can enter each required file separately or zip the required files and enter the zip file manually.Reporting and Analysis Framework extracts the zipped files and adds them to the required files summary list. Scan Folders Specified in Preferences — The Production Reporting program scans listed folders for required files. Files not located are listed on the summary screen with the File not found message under location. Locate missing files by selecting Modify. |
| | Scan All of Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis — The Production Reporting program is scanned for required files, and files in the Reporting and Analysis Framework repository are listed on the required files summary list. If your program uses variables for file names in the OPEN, DECLARE-IMAGE, or PRINT-IMAGE commands, you receive a warning message that the system cannot find the files unless you provide their names. Ignore the message, if you enter the required files manually or if the variables point to files that reside on the Job Service numbers. Otherwise, exit the import process and modify your Production Reporting program. |
