FTP scheduling in BOXI 3.1

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

I have server A (BO installed here ) and Server B . I developed a WEBI report and I want to schedule this report in the PDF format to the folder which is in the Server B. I heard this can be done using FTP option in BO scheduling.

What steps needs to be done for acheiving this?

I have added my Server B IP address as a HOST in the destinations of Program job server and Adaptive Job server . I added username and password for it . But im not sure what needs to be filled in the port and Account .

Does account represents domain name of the machine ?

I have given a trail and I ran my schedule . I m getting the following error.

connection error. [Communication error while reading data from FTP server: WSA10038]: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]

Please help me out . Many thanks in advance .

Regards,

Admin guide has detailed instructions and descriptions on different destination options.

To deliver pdf report from your BO server to Server b you can use Unmanaged disk functionality where report will be simply copied to shared folder on server B or you can use FTP destination, for which you need to have FTP server running and configured on server B.

In deneral, you enable Unmanaged Disk or FTP destination in Adaptive Job server properties in CMC and set related options, after that when scheduling webi report you can select those destinations.
