Subscribing BIRT report from an asp .net application

walnash

Hi,

So this is what i am trying to do. We have an application in asp.net. It currently uses SSRS for reporting purpose. I am trying to replace SSRS with iServer and BIRT. I am able to render BIRT report from iServer using JSAPI. I am now trying to implement the scheduler functionality from my .net application using IDAPI. I am using the submitjob class in IDAPI. I am able to submit a job and get email to the user whose credential is used for submitting the job.

I am able to send email to users who have been created in the iServer. The problem is that i want to send email to users and groups of users who are not there in iServer (external users). My application will have many users and groups and they get added everyday, so i cant keep creating users in the server every time. The below is what should happen from my app:

The user logs in to the .net app ( he is not a user in the iServer), goes to the report page, clicks on the report to view it ( report is rendered from iServer). He clicks on subscription, provides necessary details and mentions a group of users who will receive the email notification. This user will not be present in the iServer. This user, and other users and groups is present in my application DB which is a SQL server2008.

The IDAPI submitjob class and other classes in IDAPI are sending emails to users that are created in iServer. How can i send emails to users who are not in iServer?

Avinash.
