Saving output files to a shared server folder (Developer)

Avatar photoCustomer February 10, 2024 at 9:46 pm

I need to configure a scheduled report to automatically place a copy of the output file onto a specific directory on the application server for consumption by an ETL process. How is this defined?

      This is configured using the developer-only option ‘Additional Out. Directory on APPS Server’. This saves a copy of the report output file in the specified directory.

      Can I define the directory path dynamically, perhaps creating a new folder based on the report date?

      Yes, you can use tokens to create a directory path dynamically. For example, `/interface/ _ `. If the resulting directory does not exist, it is automatically created, provided the apps owner has permissions.

      Is there a similar option if the target directory is on the database server?

      Yes, you would use ‘Additional Out. Directory on DB Server’. The list of available directories is fetched from the `dba_directories` table.

      Can I set a system default for these server directories?

      These settings can be defaulted by the corresponding profile options, such as ‘Blitz Report Additional Output Directory APPS Server’ and ‘Blitz Report Additional Output Directory DB Server’.
