    I tested below:

    1. Created dir:  E:\ebs122\fs1\EBSapps\appl\blitz_out
    2. Submitted report ‘Add. Out. Dir. APPS Node’ runtime option with that directory
    3. dir is empty

    Please perform following tests:

    1) In addition to ‘Add. Out. Dir APPS Node’

    Set ‘Add. Out. Filename Pattern’ to any value from the LOV, e.g. _’YYYYMMDD’

    Run the report.

    Check if the output was copied to the folder.

    2) If the folder is still empty.

    Set ‘Add. Out. Dir APPS Node’ to ‘Z:\invalid_directory’.

    Run the report.

    Send me the request log.

    I want to understand if Blitz tries to copy the file at all.

    If the disk/directory is invalid, it should produce an error in the log.

    Thank you.

    Could you please send me the concurrent request log?

    Followed your steps:

    1. still empty in apps node—Logfile: logFile-1.txt
    2. add Z:\invalid_directory –LogFile: logFile-2.txt

    Our Blitz report version is 3.2.4, you mean it is older version and not Token function, am I right?

  • Artem Nesterko Enginatics
    It looks like you are using an older version of Blitz.
    You can either upgrade to the latest version or use the current version without tokens and ‘Add. Out. Filename Pattern’ instead of the Additional Out FIle Name.
    Please let me know what you think?

    I still have below questions:

    1. I read your url regard my question, I can see tokens in the Gude.

    2. But I can’t see this in our system.

    This is possible in your current version 3.2.4.

    Please create a directory on the apps server. E.g. /tmp/output

    Populate ‘Add. Out. Dir. APPS Node’ runtime option with that directory before running the report

    Find the output of this report in that directory.

    Tokens are only for additional flexibility in naming directories and output files. They are not mandatory to use.

    Please test and let me know if it works for you.

    Please let me know if you want the excel output of Blitz Report to be saved on the application server?
    If yes, please use Additional Out. Directory on APPS Server runtime option.
    Additional Out. Filename runtime option can be used to customize that additional output file name.
  • Artem Nesterko Enginatics
    Yes, the latest version per our changelog.
    Please apply it to get the latest features.

    ok, we can have zoom meeting next week except Tuesday morning. Many thanks.

  • Artem Nesterko Enginatics

    I suspect it is not working due to the installation on Windows.

    I need some time to investigate.

    Will you be available for a meeting next week?

    I do not know the day yet as I need to prepare for the investigation.

    Let me clarify my question again: how some reports can be enabled only to certain reports.

    This requirement can be meet in new version?

    For example:  report: AR Aging – 7 Buckets – By Salesperson/Agent

    it’s output can be enabled only to certain folder?

    my question should be correct below:

    how some reports can be enabled only to certain folder(or dir in app setrver)?
