Scheduling a Publication in BI4

[Former Member]

Hello

When setting up a Publication, in its Properties there is a section for setting the Recurrence.

However, the Publication does not seem to take note of this property and has to be Scheduled (as per setting up a normal Web Intelligence document) . When going through the Schedule though, it does remember the settings from the Recurrence page of the Publication Properties.

Is this expected behaviour or am I missing something? If it is expected, then why is the Recurrence option in the Publication Properties if it is ignored?

Many Thanks in advance

Cheers

Can we refer the excellent blogs from Christina with reference to publication to understand the basics and how it works

Hello Mani

Thanks for your reply.

I understand fully how Publications and Bursting works. My question/point is that when setting Publication in BI4, the values Schedule option are ignored and once set up the Publication has to be Scheduled in the same manner as if you were scheduling a Web Intelligence document.

As a test, I have set up a Publication and in the Publication Properties set the Recurrence value in of the Publication Schedule to run every 10 minutes. However, no output is received. Instead to obtain output from a schedule on the Publication, in BI Launch Pad, I have to Right-click on the Publication, select Schedule and then enter my details here. This works absolutely fine.

Once again, my question is: "Is this expected behaviour or am I missing something? If it is expected, then why is the Recurrence option in the Publication Properties if it is ignored?"

Thanks in advance

Julian,

You are right. It is not working. Looks like it is a bug. After creating the Publication, and right click and schedule will work, but now while setting up the publication.

Hi Jawahar

I figured it was but then started to think that I was missing a step.

Thanks for confirming my findings for me.
