7 Scheduler
The 'Scheduler' is an application that facilitates scheduled batch report and Viewsheet generation. An administrator or an end user (with scheduler permissions) can access this tool via the Enterprise Manager or the User Portal respectively. You can create one or more scheduled 'tasks' for which you specify a time condition, reports or Viewsheets to be generated, delivery mechanism (email, print, save to disk, archive, etc.), and format (PDF, Excel, etc.) of the generated output.
The 'Scheduler' is a stand-alone application. It runs independently of the report application server (Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere, etc.) as a separate process. Therefore, even if the report server goes down, the Scheduler continues to run. The Scheduler runs as an RMI server and can also be accessed programmatically. This is discussed in greater detail in the RMI Server section.
