Rational ProjectConsole Designer Help
You can create scheduled
refresh task to have Rational ProjectConsole update
all report nodes on the main Web site. To include a report node in the scheduled
refresh task run, three conditions must be met:
- On the Edit Node form for the report node, the Generate this
report automatically check box must be selected.
- On the Edit Node form for the report node, a value must be specified in
the User ID field, and, if necessary, in the Password field.
Note: The User ID field must contain
some value, even if a user ID is not required to generate the report.
- The report must already be in the report cache. This means that the report
must have been generated at least once before the refresh task is run.
Because a refresh task may take a long time to finish running, you
should schedule the task to run during off hours.
To create a scheduled
refresh task:
- On the main Rational ProjectConsole Web
site, check the Edit Node form for each of the report nodes that you want Rational ProjectConsole to refresh
automatically to see that the above requirements for inclusion in the refresh
task are met.
- On the Designer File menu, point to New,
and then click Scheduled Task.
- In the Task window, on the General page, in the Task Information area,
perform the following actions:
- In the Name field, type a name for the task.
- Next to the Hostname field, click Select.
- In the Select Hostname window, from the Hostnames list,
select the name of the machine that you want to run the task.
- Click OK.
- In the Type of Task area, perform the following
actions:
- Click Other.
- Click Task Type.
- In the Select Agent window, from the Agents list,
select PortalGenerationAgent.
- Click OK.
- Schedule the date and time for the task to run. For information about
scheduling a task, see Scheduling a task to run automatically.
For information about editing the properties of a report node in the Rational ProjectConsole navigation
tree, see Editing a node in the navigation tree in the Rational ProjectConsole Help.
