Dynamically Naming Secondary Output Files

Avatar photoCustomer February 13, 2025 at 9:29 pm

I am saving reports to an additional directory. How do I define the naming convention for these output files?

      You define the naming convention using the profile option ‘Blitz Report Additional Output Filename’. This applies to files written to a directory on the DB or APPS server if the corresponding directory profile is set.

      What is the primary feature used to make these filenames dynamic?

    • Support February 18, 2025 at 1:38 pm  

      Tokens can be used to build a file name template dynamically, for example, based on report parameter values.

      Can I use date format strings as tokens in the filename?

    • Support February 22, 2025 at 1:29 am  

      Yes, tokens include “, which uses the actual run date in the specified Oracle date format string.

      If I schedule a report to overwrite a file daily, how would that look?

      You could set the profile to a template like `_` to overwrite the same file with refreshed data every time the scheduled request runs.
