Set Output Options

Each scheduled job can have multiple output files with distinct characteristics. Each output file can have multiple destinations.

The Output tab has two regions: Output and Destination.

Select the Output tab.
Select the output options required for the job.
- Select Use Bursting Definition to Determine Output and Delivery Destination to use the report bursting definition for output and delivery. If you select this option, all other fields on this page are disabled for selection. This option is only available when bursting is enabled for the report.
- Select Use XML Data Chunking to chunk XML data for processing large reports. If you select this option, the job can have only one output. This option is available only if you've enabled XML data chunking for the report.
- Select Enable XML Pruning to prune large non-binary datasets. This setting isn't affected by the setting to prune XML data in the data model.
  XML data pruning isn't supported for:
  - XPT template
  - Bursting reports
  - Chunking XML data
- Select Make Output Public to make this job output available to all users with permission to access this report. Users with access can view the report from the Report Job History page.
- Select Save Data for Republishing to save the XML data that is generated for this job. Access the saved data from the Report Job History page where you can republish it, selecting a new layout and output options.
- Select Compress output prior to delivery to compress each report (all report formats except HTML) before delivery. The format for the file name of each compressed report is Name_Output Format.zip. For example, if the delivery destination is email for Order.pdf and Invoice.xlsx reports, the order_PDF.zip and Invoice_XLSX.zip reports are attached to the email.
  Supports email, HTTP, Content Server, and Documents Cloud Service (Oracle Content Management) delivery channels.
  
  In the Report Job History page, if you view the details of a job that was configured with the Compress output prior to delivery option, and then click Send in the Output & Delivery section, the delivered output isn’t compressed.

As a result, the report displays default values of the parameters used in the analysis. For a direct connection with a scheduled report, the parameters are passed and the values are displayed correctly in the report.
