scheduling :differene between run history and report output version

[nsaxena]

Hi All,

I wanted to know in scheduling option in report studio..what is differene between run history and report output versions

My issue : I have a report of report view type which is scheduled to run every month.
Run history is set as 5 and report output version is set as as 0
Report output type is set as pdf. And we are saving the report.Prompts are fed in schedule
Now from last 1 year we saw that schedule report view is showing blank report. One year back it was showing correctly..
is this because of run history set as 5?
Even now when i am running the report view it is showing as blank. While it's source report is showing data with same prompt.
Any idea suggestion would be welcome.

Run history allows you to specify how many entries of run history to retain. These entries would be available when you view run history for the report. Setting it as five means the 5 most recent runs can be shown. This information includes request time, start time, completion and status, along with details that you can access by clicking the details link in the Actions section for the particular run history entry.

Report Output Versions specify how many report outputs to save in the content store. A setting of zero means unlimited outputs will be saved. If you really need long term archival facilities I'd say store them elsewhere rather than clogging up your content store.

I don't think either of these report view properties have anything to do with the problem you are having. If you create a new report view against the source report does it render properly? Did you try re-pointing the view to the source report to see if that solves the issue? Are you rendering the source as well as the view as PDF to eliminate alternate layouts as an explanation?

Hi  Thanks for replying.
Here are my observations against your questions:

1) I tried created new report view and replicated it as old one and it is working fine..i.e showing output
2) i re pointed the report view again to source report >> output is still same..i.e report view is showing blank output.
3) source output is in pdf and report view defaullt output is also pdf...is this what you asked?

Please suggest if any other way i can try to make existing report view work,as i dont want old saved report views to be lost.
Thanks!
