Compressing Report Output for Global Payroll Reports

You can now compress large files of the payroll report outputs and log files before you upload them to the UCM server.

Before you run the report, create a process configuration group and add the process configuration parameter, Compressed Output Compress the report output before uploading to UCM, to the process configuration group. Use this process configuration group to run the report and compress the report output file.

Follow these steps to add the parameter and set the Override Values:

  1. Navigate to My Client Groups > Show More > Payroll > Payroll Process Configuration.
  2. Click Add and create a configuration group.

Create Process Configuration Group

  1. Click the Add icon and add the Compressed Output Compress the report output before uploading to UCM parameter to the group.
