About the Bursting Destination File

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 Scheduler. 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 Scheduler. The member settings in the CSV Bursting Destination file can be appended to the member selections in the Batch Scheduler. 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.

When complete, you must import the file into the repository (select File, then Import, and then File) where it can be applied to a batch in the Batch Scheduler.

Note:

• Member names in the CSV file are case-sensitive and must match the member names 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.

• The sender email address is servicename <[e-mail]> from the Financial Reporting Batch Scheduler.

When you create a CSV Bursting File and import it into the repository, you can select it for your scheduled batch.
