OpenDocument and the Webi Job Server

[Former Member]

(Using XI R2 on windows environment)

I have a Webi report which will be opened using the OpenDocument URL syntax, passing parameters through, with the report set to refresh on open.

When this report opens and refreshes does this use one of the Webi Job Server "Maximum Jobs Allowed"?

ie say the server is set to allow 10 simultaneous jobs to run, and these are all being used by scheduled jobs (say at month end) and someone uses the OpenDocument function, will this document wait until there is a job allowed to run on the Job Server or does it refresh immediatley?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, its a bit had to explain what I think I mean.

Cheers

Hi

the WebI Job server is not involved in the workflow you described. The webI Report Server is repsonsible for creating reports on-demand. Calling your openDocument link will trigger the WebI report server. While the report is refreshed and remains open a connection will be opened on this server.

Stratos, thank you.

So I need to ensure I configure the Simultaneous connections and the connection time outs correctly. But atleast my concerns over the Job Server are unfounded.

Thanks again for your response.
