Specifying the Batch Destination

The Destinations area in the Batch Scheduler defines the type and location of the output for the scheduled batch.

The following options are available:

Note:

Batch Bursting supports only output to Snapshot Reports, and PDF files; output to HTML and MHTML are not supported for Batch Bursting.

Note:

To specify a maximum attachment size for email output, use the property, MaxEmailAttachmentSizein theJConsole.exe file. This value, entered in kilobytes, is used to split reports into multiple emails to conform to the maximum size attachments allowed per email. The default is set to unlimited (0 (zero) or -ve).

When sending an oversized attachment containing a single PDF file or numerous files, the email fails to deliver and the sender is notified. For a single oversized file attachment, the sender can manually deliver the attachment by copying it from the scheduler server or external directories. For numerous files attachments, the sender can rerun the batch from the Batch Scheduler and select the option of sending individual emails for each file. This property applies to bursting and non-bursting output.

    Export as HTML (Web Page) is not supported for burst batches.

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

  • Export as Single File Web Page (MHTML)—Export the batch as a single file on the Financial Reporting server.

    Select Export to an external directory to export to the Planning Inbox/Scheduler Output folder, where the file can be accessed in the Inbox/Outbox Explorer.

    Export as Single File Web Page (MHTML) is not supported for burst batches.
