Schedule a Query Refresh

[Former Member]

Hi ,

In BW 3.1 is there anyway to schedule a job refresh a workbook automatically in the background . Can reporting agent be used to acheive this functionality ? I also would like to access the refreshed query from the document store and send it as an email attachment . I know that 3.1 does not support information breoadcasting , but can it be achieved programmatically ?

Any document links that provided more details on this would be appreciated .

Thanks

To my knowledge the best way to achieve this in 3.1 is to program this using VBA and keep one PC running especially for this purpose.

Reporting agent can be used to send static reports to end users (but not workbooks).

Hope it helps,
