Scheduling CygNet Reports

CygNet Reports can be scheduled to auto run or auto print using the Microsoft scheduler ("Scheduled Tasks"). For instance, you can have a morning report run and have it printed for early morning office distribution.

Scheduling requires the export parameters to be defined in the report and the report parameters file saved in the standard file system.

Syntax

The command-line syntax for the scheduler is:

CReports.exe /Command [Path]ParameterFile.rpx

Parameter Description

Command

The task type. Options are "e" (to export) and "p" (to print).

[Path]

The path to the parameters file is required if the parameters file is not stored in the same directory as CReports.exe

ParameterFile.rpx

The name of the parameter file. The parameter file must be stored in the standard file system.

Example

CReports.exe /p MorningReport.rpx

CReports.exe /e N:\CygNet Reports\Alarm History.rpx
