Scheduling Issues

Mapped



UNC File Paths

The task scheduler, given that it runs under the local SYSTEM account, may not recognize

mapped network drives. Recent versions of Visual CUT automatically convert mapped paths to

UNC paths when you open an rpt from a mapped folder, or when you set up export file locations.

For example:

\\server123\ixm7\

{@Year}\Sales for {Product_Type.Name}.pdf

Instead of:

P:\

{@Year}\Sales for {Product_Type.Name}.pdf

But if the report uses a mapped drive in the data source setup, you should change the data source

definition to use a UNC path instead.

Turn on the "Run with highest privileges"

task property (‘General’ tab).

The user account that is setting up the task should be a local administrator.

On the actions tab, set action to Start a program

You can simply browse and select the batch file (*.bat or *.cmd).

Hide Batch (Command) Windows

To avoid being distracted by the batch file window each time it gets triggered, save the following

line as invisible.vbs (use Notepad Save As... All Files):

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False

In task scheduler, follow this example (use actual paths to invisible.vbs and to your batch file).

The application in this case is wscript, and the arguments to it are the invisible.vbs followed by

the batch file. Here is a link to an explanation and other options.

Note: in cases where you set the task to 'Run whether user is logged on or not' you can simply

turn on the Hidden checkbox.

Control Processing Options When Encountering Zero Records

The command line is constructed as the name and path of the executable (surrounded by quotes),

followed by

–

e or -E and the path and file name of the report (surrounded by quotes):

"C:\Program Files\Visual CUT\Visual CUT.exe"

-e

"C:\Program Files\Visual

CUT\Visual_CUT.rpt"

Specifying

–

in the string above causes automatic "Execution" based on encrypted and

stored logon information, stored parameter values, and the various processing options specified

& saved during an interactive session in Visual CUT.

–

aborts processing of empty reports while

–

oesn’t.

Specifying

–

in the string above causes automatic "Show" (Preview Tab) based on logon and

parameters specified & saved during a previous session in Visual CUT.

You can also use this to create a simple shortcut for quick viewing of a report.

If no processing option (-e, -E, or

–

is specified in the Scheduling string, the application’s

Preview Tab would open for the specified report prompting for Parameters and Logon

information if required.

E-mailing Alert Messages and Exception Reports

Imagine managers at your company wish to receive daily reports showing exceptions such as

orders with very low profit margins, products with very low inventory levels, late shipments, or

production runs with very high scrap rates. In most days these exception reports should be empty

and should not reach the managers.

Using Visual CUT you can schedule these reports to run as frequently as you wish, but with

–

rather than

–

in the command line. This would ensure that during each scheduled

processing cycle, the e-mail message, and (optionally) the attached report would be sent only if

exceptions were indeed found. If no records pass the record selection criteria, exporting,

e-mailing, and printing of the report are simply aborted.

This logic applies to the main report. A case of no records in the main report but some records in

a subreport is still considered as no records.

Note: to avoid repeating the same exception email, see Avoiding Duplicate Processing.

Management By Exceptions and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) are powerful approaches

to management, and Visual CUT makes them easy

Using Command Line Arguments

Arguments to Specify Parameter Values

When you open a report in Visual CUT, the values you specify in response to parameter prompts

are saved in the internal database (Visual CUT.mdb). In some cases, you may want to invoke

Visual CUT processing via command line calls while overriding some or all of these stored

parameter values. You can do this by specifying additional command line arguments.

So far, the string used to schedule or launch processing of reports was described as:

"C:\Program Files\Visual CUT\Visual CUT.exe"

-e

"C:\Program Files\Visual

CUT\Visual_CUT.rpt"

"C:\Program Files\Visual CUT\Visual CUT.exe"

-E

"C:\Program Files\Visual

CUT\Visual_CUT.rpt"

You can add optional arguments to the command lines, which identify the parameter (by its

number) and specify its value. For example, using the following string would override the first

parameter value saved by Visual CUT with the value of 1988 (in the sample Visual_Cut.rpt

report, the first parameter is the YEAR).

"C:\Program Files\Visual CUT\Visual CUT.exe"

-e

"C:\Program Files\Visual

CUT\Visual_CUT.rpt" "Parm1:1998"

The value of a date parameter would be specified as:

"C:\Program Files\Visual CUT\Visual CUT.exe"

-e

"C:\Program Files\Visual

CUT\Visual_CUT.rpt" "Parm1:3/10/2003"

Note that the syntax is constructed as the word "Parm", followed by the number of the parameter

(according to the order of parameters shown in Crystal), followed by a colon and the value.

Here’s how you would specify the 1

and 3

parameter values:

"C:\Program Files\Visual CUT\Visual CUT.exe"

-e

"C:\Program Files\Visual

CUT\Visual_CUT.rpt" "Parm1:1998" "Parm3:Ido Millet"

Notes:



Visual CUT handles the necessary data type conversion to match the parameter data type.



All command line arguments must be enclosed in double quotes and separated by a

single space.

Page 69

Range and Multi-Value Parameters

Visual CUT supports all parameter types including multi-value, range, and mixed parameters.

To learn how such parameter values can be specified via command line arguments, save the

report settings in Visual CUT, open Visual CUT.mdb in MS Access and observe the parameter

values saved in the Report_Opt table.

A multi-value discrete parameter value is specified as follows:

---------------------------------------------------

... "Parm1:Competition:::Gloves:::Helmets"

---------------------------------------------------

A range parameter (in this case a date range) is specified as follows:

---------------------------------------------------

... "Parm1:7/15/1996>>>7/15/2003>>>3"

---------------------------------------------------

The 3 at the end indicates the start and end points are included.

A 0 at the end would indicate the start and end points are NOT included.

A 2 at the end would indicate the start point is included and the end point is not.

A 1 at the end would indicate the start point is not included and the end point is.

Add 4 to these values if there is no Upper Bound.

Add 8 to these values if there is no Lower Bound.

For example, this would indicate all dates up to, and including 7/15/2003:

---------------------------------------------------

... "Parm1:12:00:00 AM>>>7/15/2003>>>9"

---------------------------------------------------

The 12:00:00 AM value is just a place-holder. Any date value would work (will be ignored).

Request User Input for Certain Parameters

You can use "ParmN:[?]" command line arguments to indicate that Visual CUT should prompt

the user for certain parameter values. For example,

---------------------------------------------------

... "Parm1:Today" "Parm3:[?]"

---------------------------------------------------

Would set the first parameter to today's date, prompt the user for the 3

-parameter, and use saved

parameter values for all other parameters. This is useful when Visual CUT is called from a

command line and the user needs to interactively override saved parameter values.

Null Values

Null parameter values (for Stored Procedures) are specified in command lines by using the

constant [VC_NULL]. For example, to specify that the first parameter value is null, use:

"Parm1:[VC_NULL]"

Page 70

Date Constants

When scheduling reports that have Date or DateTime parameters, you can set the parameter to

dates relative to the current date. Visual CUT can do this for discrete or range date parameters.

The supported constants are:

1. TODAY -or- YESTERDAY

2. TODAY_PLUS_N -or- TODAY_MINUS_N -or-

TODAY_PLUS_N_PLUS_M -or- TODAY_MINUS_N_MINUS_M -or-

TODAY_PLUS_N_PLUS_M_EOM

–

or- TODAY_MINUS_N_MINUS_M_EOM -or-

TODAY_PLUS_N_PLUS_M_SOM

–

or- TODAY_MINUS_N_MINUS_M_SOM

3. START_MONTH_PLUS_M -or- START_MONTH_MINUS_M

4. END_MONTH_PLUS_M -or- END_MONTH_MINUS_M

5. START_YEAR_PLUS_Y -or- START_YEAR_MINUS_Y

6. END_YEAR_PLUS_Y -or- END_YEAR_MINUS_Y

7. Nth_N_PLUS_M

–

or- Nth_N_MINUS_M

8. LAST_MM_DD

–

or- NEXT_MM_DD

9. Now_Plus_S -or- Now_Minus_S -or- Now_GMT_Plus_S -or- Now_GMT_Minus_S

Where N=days, M=Months, Y=Years, and S=seconds to be added or subtracted.

For example, if the current date is March 6, 2004 then:

Today = 3/6/04

Nth_16_MINUS_1 = 2/16/04 (the 16

of the previous month)

Today_Minus_3 = 3/3/04

Last_04_01 = April 1, 2003

End_Month_Minus_1 = 2/29/04

Start_Year_Plus_0 = 1/1/04

Start_Year_Minus_1>>>Today>>>3 = Inclusive range of [1/1/03 to 3/6/04]

In the case of Today_Minus_N_Minus_M, N is the Days and M is the Months, so:

Today_Minus_1_Minus_2 = 1/5/2004 (one day and two months earlier)

Adding _EOM or _SOM to the end of a Today_Minus_N_Minus_M constant returns the

End-of-Month or Start-of-Month, so:

Today_Minus_1_Minus_2_SOM = 1/1/2004 (Start of Month for 1/5/2004)

Today_Minus_1_Minus_2_EOM = 1/31/2004 (End of Month for 1/5/2004)

For DateTime parameters, Now_Plus_S or Now_Minus_S, returns the current datetime adjusted

by the number of specified seconds. For Time parameters, this argument returns just the current

time adjusted by the number of specified seconds. For example, if the current datetime is

June 17, 2008, 5:22:38 PM then Now_Minus_3600 returns

June 17, 2008, 4:22:38 PM for a DateTime parameter and 4:22:38 PM for a Time parameter.
