Depending on your system configuration, Reporting and Analytics can run scheduled reports and send report emails after a service outage. Reports scheduled to run more than once during the interval only run once with the last set of information. If the business date changed during the service outage, all reports are run as if they were scheduled to run on the current day. For example, the Daily Operations report will show information for the most recent business date rather then retrieving information for the day that the service outage occurred.
