Report 10.1.2 Auto starting a background job for a user for long reports.

[gosoccer]

Automatically starting a background job for a user for long report.

The user wants to run to run a report for one year and produce a very long report.  When they hit "Run Report", the batch process is automatically generated and run in the background, with the report being placed, by default, in their "My Folders" location.  A message would be displayed to the screen saying their report is running in the background and an email will be sent to them once it's complete.

Is this doable using a HTML/Java Script to start a background job when a user runs a report?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Have you considered a scheduled job?
Or perhaps an event studio event could be used to trigger the report, with something external triggering the event.

Good Question Robl. Yes, I'm experienced with the Job Scheduling and Report Author but what I'm not experienced
with is a way to start a job by running a command from within Report Author 10.1.2 report.

I'll check on Event Studio and see if a background job can be schedules by running a specific "COMMAND"
from within Report Author.

Thank you for the response :)
