BI Publisher report scheduler questions

Question

Question 1: Is there a way to cancel a scheduled report? I have users that scheduled reports in BI Publisher but these reports take too long to run that the users decide to cancel it. It seems that there is not an option to do this. I have admin rights, so I think that I should be able to do this but I don't see any option. If there is a way to do this can someone please explain how.
Question 2: If a scheduled report is running while the BI Publisher application is re-started,  can the status of the report be changed from 'C' to 'F' in the xmlp_sched_ouput schema? During the development of an application that uses the scheduler from BI Publisher, we have re-started BI Publisher application serveral times while a scheduled report is running. When we query BI Publisher schema, we can see that the status of the report that was running before the application is re-started keeps showing 'C' (for current). How we can change this status? Is there any configuration that I need to change to for the change to be automatic?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Try like this. Make sure your BIP parameter name and Presentation variable name matches; i assume Region
SELECT distinct REF_REGION_CODE
FROM REGION
WHERE REF_REGION_CODE BETWEEN '01' AND '10'
and (LEAST(:Region) is null OR
REF_REGION_CODE LIKE (CASE WHEN :Region='' THEN '%%' ELSE :Region END)
or
REF_REGION_CODE = substr(:Region,1,2) )
SELECT distinct REF_REGION_CODE
FROM REGION
WHERE REF_REGION_CODE BETWEEN '01' AND '10'
and (LEAST(:Region) is null OR
REF_REGION_CODE LIKE (CASE WHEN :Region{}='' THEN '%%' ELSE :Region END)
or
REF_REGION_CODE = substr(:Region,1,2) )
If this is not working try to tweak with single quotes for Region
