Title: Custom Calendar for Report Scheduling
Post by: baovuong39 on 04 Sep 2007 10:52:25 AM
Can anyone provide any suggestions how to schedule reports to run based on a company's business days without using triggers?

I'm trying to schedule a report to execute on the first five business days of each month, but can not use a trigger. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I think the easiest option would be to use an Event Studio agent.  Code your agent's condition so it is true for the first 5 business days each month (based on your custom rules), and have the agent fire off the report/job for new/ongoing events.  Schedule the agent to run every day.

Hope that helps,

MF.
