Determine the Success or Failure of a Scheduling Job

When you schedule an object, the scheduled instance either succeeds or fails. The conditions required for an instance's success or failure depend on the type of object you schedule:

• Report objects and Web Intelligence document objects

  A report instance or document object instance runs successfully if it does not encounter any errors while processing the object or accessing the database. An instance may fail if the user does not provide the correct parameters or log in information.

• Program objects

  For program objects, the program must run in order to succeed. If the program does not run, the instance is considered a failure. If the program runs, but does not perform the tasks it is supposed to, it is still considered a successful instance because the program object ran. BusinessObjects Enterprise does not monitor problems with the program object's code.
