save report in server

Hi,

i have a question ? on saving report in server in a particular folder as pdf

currently i am opening a report in pdf format using a custom jsp (do_execRep_PDF)

its a sync request, now i simultaneously want to save a copy of the report as pdf in the server.

is it possible, if so what output parameters do i need to submit along with the url?

Thanks for your time and inputs.

regards,
Logan

Passing __saveOutput=true in the URL will cause an rptdocument to be saved. You can control where it is saved via __outputName. You should also be using the invokeSubmit=true to avoid having to click submit on the job.

Hi Logan,

I assume you are using the open source viewer. You would have to implement this feature by modifying the servlet code.

Hi,
i am also looking to save report on server side.
I need to know syntax to specify the folder location in the following parameter

__outputName

Thanks

From your other posts I assume you are referring to the open source viewer. There is no parmeter to save the output to a filename other tan __document which is the rptdocument not the output. Take a look at this for all the open source parameters

There is a reportrunner command line app that can run reports to output and you can also write your own java app to call the engine. One of the render options is setOutputFilename.
