Creating a report subscription to run on the 5th BUSINESS day.

Question

I have a report that needs to send out on the 5th Business day, right now i have it running on the 5th of the month but it needs to change so that it does not send out on the weekends.  How do i schedule it to send out on the 5th business day?
Thanks!

Answer 1

We have created subscription with One-time Schedule and then created another agent job to execute on 1st working day.
Step 2: execute below to get code that will actually be executed by SQL agent for subscription.
SELECT
'EXEC ReportServer.dbo.AddEvent @EventType=''TimedSubscription'', @EventData='''
+ CAST(RS.SubscriptionID AS VARCHAR(40)) + '''' AS ReportCommand
FROM ReportServer.dbo.ReportSchedule RS JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs SJ
ON Convert(varchar(500),RS.ScheduleID) = SJ.name
JOIN ReportServer.dbo.ReportSchedule RSC
ON SJ.name = Convert(varchar(500),RSC.ScheduleID)
JOIN ReportServer.dbo.Subscriptions SU
ON RSC.SubscriptionID = SU.SubscriptionID
JOIN ReportServer.dbo.Catalog CA
ON SU.report_oid = CA.itemid
Join ReportServer.dbo.Users U
on U.UserID = CA.CreatedByID
where CA.Name like 'Test' --Add your report name here
Step 3 : Create another SQL job  to execute daily and add below to job step
DECLARE @Today DATE = GETDATE(), @Workingday Date
SELECT @Workingday = CASE DATEDIFF(DAY, '19000101', theDate) % 7
WHEN 0 THEN DATEADD(DAY, 4, theDate)
WHEN 6 THEN DATEADD(DAY, 5, theDate)
ELSE DATEADD(DAY, 6, theDate)
END
FROM (
SELECT DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', @Today), '19000101')
) AS d(theDate)
IF @Today = @Workingday
BEGIN
EXEC ReportServer.dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='A30C87A9-4AF1-43FA-978A-2AFD05215' --Add output from previous query
END;
Make sure you test above solution as you might have to tweak a bit to work in your environment.
