Automated update of Publication Schedules

[bernhard_keimel]

Hi,

we want to adapt/reschedule 100+ scheduled publications and change the reccurrance type and add an event that triggers the execution. Because of the number of publications we prefer to implement an automated process.

So i checked the use of RESTful services but got stuck in finding a method to add/modify events in schedules.

I also had a short look on the Workflow Assistant to realize that the only way would propably be the Implementation of a Custom Task, and i am unsure if i can do that with appropriate effort as i could not find documentation on this.

The BI release we use is 4.3 SP02

Do you have any suggestions on this?

Thank you!

Bernhard

Also, if you don't want to do the programming with the SDK, there are third-party tools you can purchase that would help you do this. For example, the Schedule Manager of the APOS Administrator has functionality to edit schedule properties. 360 Suite from Wiiisdom might also have it.

yes true from all different possibilities this one seems to be the most efficient.

You can use the Java SDK

see "To create a schedule event" in "Business Intelligence Platform Java SDK Developer Guide"

yes this could be an option. Why did i not think of that? Maybe because we do not use Java in this environment, but this could be a reason to do so
