Republishing Report Definition Output

Republishing enables you to reuse the XML output that was generated when a report definition was originally submitted to BI Publisher. The XML result set is archived in the repository and can be used to republish any report definition that uses the same UBE and version. Republishing enables you to create the report definition output without having to run the batch version a second time.

When you republish, you can override the original processing location and submit the job to a different server. Additionally, if other report definitions use the same UBE and version, you can select a different report definition. If a report definition is not selected, the republishing job uses the original report definition.
