Editing a scheduled report

About this task

Edit a scheduled report to change its execution interval (for instance, daily to weekly) or the method of recording data (saved or mailed).

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Messaging -> Mail tab.

2. Expand the view Reports for Servername and open the Scheduled Reports folder.

3. Select the report view containing the scheduled report you want to edit; for example, Daily or Weekly.

4. Select the report to edit and click Edit Report.

5. Edit the report settings as needed and click OK.

Changing the default time for generating a scheduled report

About this task

Domino generates any scheduled report at the default time for that type of report. For example, daily reports run at midnight every day, and weekly reports at midnight every Saturday. If the default schedule conflicts with other operations on the server, you can reschedule the report agent to run when the server is less busy. Changes apply to all reports scheduled to run at that time; that is, if you change the default time for running weekly reports, the server runs all weekly reports at the new time.

The following procedure requires that you have Domino Designer installed on the administrative workstation.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Messaging -> Mail tab.

2. Expand the Reports for Servername view and open the Scheduled Reports folder.

3. Select the report view containing the scheduled report you want to edit; for example, Daily or Weekly.

4. From the View menu, select Agents to launch Domino Designer. If Designer does not open automatically, launch the program manually and then open the Reports database (REPORTS.NSF) from the server.

5. Double-click the report agent you want to reschedule.

6. Click Schedule.

7. Specify the time to generate the report.

8. Click OK.

Enabling and disabling a scheduled report

By default, Domino enables a scheduled report immediately after you create it, so that the server runs the report at the next execution interval -- for example, a new daily report runs at midnight following the day you create it. You can disable any scheduled report and enable scheduled reports that are currently disabled.

About this task

If you created a scheduled report to diagnose a particular problem, you can disable the report to prevent it from executing after obtaining the information you need. Disabling a scheduled report conserves server resources, but lets you retain the report settings for future use. You can disable a report temporarily, or remove it from the server altogether.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Messaging -> Mail tab.

2. Expand the Reports for Servername view and open the Scheduled Reports folder.

3. Select the report view containing the scheduled report to disable; for example, Daily or Weekly.

4. Select the scheduled report and do one of the following:
