Title: Run a report from the command line
Post by: Ben on 06 Jan 2006 11:22:09 AM
We have a scheduler that runs all our nightly jobs, and I need to run a report from a command line issued.  I would *like* to be able to send in the prompts through the command line as well, though running a Report View might be an acceptable alternative.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Sounds like a job for the SDK...

I'm not aware of any command line interfaces to the report engine..

regards,

Mike

I need to insure that report runs after the weekly ETLs have finished (and not before).  I would think this is a pretty common task and it surprises me that it is necessary to use the SDK for it.

I'll look into the SDK, but I'd appreciate any other suggestions if anyone has any.

I'd also like to figure out a way to have a scheduled report or job run only after the ETL has updated.  Has anybody done this without using the SDK?

This can only be done using "triggers" which you can only enable, run and schedule through SDK code.
