I have a request to schedule a report to FTP site where a new folder is created each month for previous month. for example, there is folder there named '082020' for August. I need to schedule a report to be posted in 082020 and next month the report will need to be posted to 092020.

So each month the folder name will be different and I am not sure if there is a way to do it in WebI Scheduling. Need help.

Hi Mahboob,

Very valid point and that is what I was planning to do. I raised this question thinking if anyone had done it out there or if there was any feature I wasn't aware of. You have confirmed that it could be done via SDK.

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer this. I know I will be here again and will be in touch 🙂

Hi Khurram,

Why can't you/BO Admin create the folder manually, and update the recurring instance once every month manually, shouldn't take long? Unless you've a lot of reports for which you need to update the FTP Settings and update recurring schedule.

The other way to do it would be to use SDK, to create a Java App to do this.

Thanks,
