Dynamic recipients in publication

1101 Views

Hi,

a client is trying to create a publication using a dynamic recipient list based on a Web Intelligence report. They have set up the Webi report based on the instructions on the instructions contained in the March 15th 2011 document issued by SAP. He has created the report and saved it with the 'refresh on open' option ticked.

However, when he creates the publication and tries view the recipient list, he selects the report, maps the fields and then unticks the 'use entire list' option there are no recipients in the list to select or exclude from the publication.

If the 'refresh on open' option is not ticked in the Webi report then the recipient list is available in the publication to select or exclude from. However this list does not update when the Web Intelligence report is scheduled and successive instances produce different lists of recipients.

I believed that the dynamic recipients of a publication were supposed to be generated from the last instance of the relevant report. Even if this is not the case and it is the 'refresh on open' option that is supposed to generate the latest list of recipients for the publication, then this is not working either.

I have tested the same process on my system and have found the same issues. We are using BusinessObjects EDGE 3.1 sp3 on a windows platform.

thanks

Keith
