When do you want to schedule this workbook?

Use these fields to specify when you want Discoverer to process the scheduled workbook.

• Immediately

  Use this option to process the scheduled workbook as soon as you click Finish.

• Time

  Use this option to process the scheduled workbook at a time in the future that you specify in the adjacent field.

  You can change the date and time by selecting individual parts of the field (for example, day of the week) and using the up and down arrows to increment and decrement the values. For example:

  • click on Sunday in the day area and click the up arrow to change the value to Monday or click the down arrow to change the value to Saturday

  • click on 12 in the hour area and click the up arrow to change the value to 1 or click the down arrow to change the value to 11

  • click on AM in the time area and click the up arrow or down arrow to change the value to PM

  Hint: Click on the calendar icon to the right of the field to specify a date using the graphical "Calendar dialog".

  Note: The time and date that you set here is the time on the database system, which might be different from the date and time on the Discoverer client system. For more information about the time on the database system, contact the Discoverer manager.

How often do you want to schedule this workbook?

Use these fields to specify how often Discoverer processes the scheduled workbook.

• Never

  Use this option when you want Discoverer to process a scheduled workbook on demand rather than at regular intervals. For example, for an occasional report requested by your manager.

• Repeat every

  Use these fields when you want Discoverer to process a scheduled workbook regularly. Use the first field to specify a number, and the second field to specify an interval. For example, choose '1' and 'Week' to process a scheduled workbook once every week at the time and date specified by When do you want to schedule this workbook?.

Do you want to keep all versions of results?

Use these fields to specify whether to store scheduled workbook results sets or over-write the previous scheduled workbook results set each time Discoverer produces a new set. If a report is processed frequently, using this option might require a large amount of database space - contact the Discoverer manager for more details.

• Yes, keep all results

  Use this option when you want Discoverer to store the scheduled workbook results sets each time a scheduled workbook is processed. Use this option when you want to store historical data.

• No, just keep the latest set of results

  Use this option when you want Discoverer to store only the latest scheduled workbook results set. Use this option when you do not want to store historical data.

How long do you want to keep the results?

Delete results after _ days

Use this field to specify how long you store the latest scheduled workbook results set. For example, if you process a weekly report, you might delete the results after seven days to minimize the amount of database space used.
