Set Your Destination to File Location

To set your destination to file location

1. In the Folders management area of the CMC, select an object.
2. Click Actions, Schedule and access the Destination page.
   • If you are scheduling a Crystal Report or object package, click Destination.
   • If you are scheduling a Web Intelligence document, click Formats and Destinations.
3. Select File location as the destination.
   • If you are scheduling a Crystal Report or object package, select File Location from the Destination list.
   • If you are scheduling a Web Intelligence document, select File Location under Output Format Details, then click Destination Options and Settings.
4. If you are scheduling a Web Intelligence document, select or deselect Use the Job Server's defaults.

   Notes:

   • You can change the default Job Server settings in the Servers management area of the CMC.
   • You can specify a user name and password only for servers using Windows.
5. Choose whether to enable instance cleanup.
   • If you are scheduling a Web Intelligence document, select or deselect the Clean up instance after scheduling option.
   • If you are scheduling another type of object, select or deselect Keep an instance in the history.

   When that option is selected, the system automatically deletes the report or program instance from the Output File Repository Server to keep the number of instances on the server to a minimum.

   Note: These instances are needed for auditing the event, so this setting is overruled if auditing is activated for the scheduled object.

6. Set other scheduling options as needed.
7. Click Schedule.

The following identify the file name properties and user information you can set to be used at schedule time.

Destination directory

Enter a local location, mapped location, or a UNC path. If you are scheduling a Web Intelligence document and would like to create folders based on variables (such as the Title of the instance, the owner, date and time, or users names), you can insert a variable by selecting it from the list. The variable is inserted at the end of the text in the text box.

File Name

To let BusinessObjects Enterprise generate a file name, select Automatically generated.

To choose a file name, select Specific name and enter the name you want to use. If you are scheduling a Web Intelligence document, you can include the same variables in the file name as you could in the destination directory. If you would like to add the file extension to your indicated file name, ensure that Add file extension is selected.

User Name

Specify a user who has permission to write files to the destination directory.

Password

Enter the password for the user.
