Title: setting the default report versions for a scheduled report(Global Change)
Post by: krishna.cog@gmail.com on 08 Jan 2015 10:40:42 AM
Is there any way that I can set the DEFAULT 'number of occurrences' in 'report output versions' for scheduling report. I know that using sdk(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21344200) but is there a way that we can setup some where in the system.xml file or in Ps location.

Please share me your thoughts.

Thanks

Thanks Steve,

My question is, I would like to change the no of "report output versions" can be allowed for each report.  For an instance I have created a Sales Report when you look at the set properties of the report we can notice that there were two options one is "Run history" and the other option is "Report Output Versions".  Both are by default Run history(Number of Occurrences:5) and Report output versions(Number of occurrences:1). 

Is there any global setting(in any configuration file or any advanced setting or anywhere in content store table which holds the information) where we can be able to default these values to desired limit.  For an instance Run history(Number of Occurrences:2) and Report output versions(Number of occurrences:2)

I am not worrying about the Report Formate (HTML, PDF or Excel etc).

Please share me your thoughts.

Thanks
J

I also implemented the same thing recently.
For me, the requirement is  5 for Run history(Number of Occurrences:5) and Report output versions(Number of occurrences:5). 
I just set both the values as 5 for Excel output and its storing the output as well.  Its working fine. I did not do any specific setting after that.
