Reports9-6 SIMATIC PCS 7 OSx 4.1.2 Operator
9.3 Scheduling a Report
The Report Scheduler allows the operator to create schedules for report
execution by time or event, view schedules linked to a report format, edit
schedules, delete schedules, and change schedule status. The o perator can
create up to 300 time and/or event schedules before the Scheduler Directory
is full.
Reports can be scheduled from any OSx station. To schedule reports, the
operator must have the Report Configuration security privilege.
OSx allows the you to configure a single report schedule to have both time
and event triggers if your application requires it.
If you attempt to do a manual station role change while a report is
executing, the role change fails. Wait a minute o r two and then try the role
change again.
Scheduled reports do not execute while a role change is in progress, nor do
they execute after the role change is complete until the next scheduled time
or event. Report execution does not affect automatic failover from the
primary to a backup.
To reach the Report Scheduler, select
Data-->Report from the main menu bar.
This will open the Reports Directory box. The
Schedule... pushbutton is in
the bottom area of the box. It is gray, denoting inactive status, until you
select a particular report format from the directory listing. Once you
highlight the report you wish to schedule, the
Schedule... pushbutton will
turn black. Selecting the

Once a report has been properly compiled and is ready for execution, you
can schedule it by time or by event.
NOTE: If you modify a report, you cannot schedule it for execution until it
has been recompiled.
