The Bursting Destination File contains the default settings for the scheduled batch. You can periodically view the default settings as you navigate through the batch wizard. You can export the Bursting File as a CSV file to specify output and permission exceptions for a scheduled batch, thus overriding the default settings defined in the Batch Wizard. The member settings in the CSV Bursting Destination file can be appended to the member selections in the Batch Wizard. For example, you can specify a different subfolder for some reports, based on selected members, or make some reports read-only. Only members that are valid for the selected dimension are appended to the bursted file.
To edit the Bursting Destination File for a current batch, the Planning Service Administrator or Planning Power User exports the file to a text editor or Excel, enters the members, if not already displayed, and edits any values in the table. The values for each member in the dimension are: Subfolder Name, Financial Reporting Object Name, Email Address, Group Name, Role Names, User Names, External Root Folder for PDF.
Upon completion, the file must be imported into the repository (select File, then Import, and then File) where it can be applied to a batch in the batch wizard.
Note: | Member names in the CSV file are case-sensitive and must match that in the data source. If the member name case in the file differs from that in the data source, the burst generates no email output. |
If you have created a CVS Bursting File, and have imported it into the repository, you can select it for your scheduled batch.
