Auto Refresh of Reports

[Former Member]

<p>Hi All,</p><p> We&#39;ve created a simple Java program to export an RPT file into PDF. We plan to run this Java program as a batch job to render the RPT to PDF. However, the report itself "caches" the data from the database, so the report this day would be the same tomorrow even though the database data has been changed if the report is not manually refreshed.</p><p> Is there a way to include the refresh of the actual RPT file in the Java code?</p><p>Thanks everyone! =)<br /></p>

<p>This is strange. When you run a report it should be refreshing the data.</p><p>What you should be doing is scheduling the report to export to PDF. Is this what you are doing? Whenever a report is scheduled it should be grabbing the data from the database and creating a new version of the report instance. Is this how the logic of your application works? </p><p>Rob Horne<br /><a href="/blog/10">Rob&#39;s blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a></p>;
