BusinessObjects 4.0 includes functionality that allows documents and queries to be scheduled and refreshed automatically with specific target destinations. In addition, the events feature controls the execution of reports by waiting until a trigger within the system is fired.This ability to schedule reports in advance is useful for refreshing reports at off-hours or when system activity is very low. It allows reports to include the necessary data that users require in a timely manner. This functionality is especially useful for long-running reports, users requiring reports at off-hours, or when many reports need to be refreshed at the same time. This functionality is also a helpful timesaver for users because they aren’t required to manually run the reports every time.Scheduling can be configured so that the reports automatically execute after a file is loaded on the BusinessObjects server.
