Run java code on report completion

Question

I understand that Business Objects allows for custom notifications when a scheduled report is completed successfully.  Is there a way in Java to be notified when a report is successfully completed?  I want to run some code upon report completion.  Thanks.

Answer 1

When you create a schedule event, you can decide if the event will be triggered when the report succeeds, fails, or both. 
You can then set it up so that each time the event is triggered, a java app that has been published to enterprise is run.  The difficulty here is that you will probably want to know exactly "which" report has completed succcesfully (Unless you set up a seperate event for each report) - and I don't know of any way to do that reliably.
But if you just want some java code to run each time a report is completed, then you can use this method.
So the steps would be:
1. Create Schedule Event
2. When you schedule the report - assign the event to it (You won't be able to do this in the CMC - you need to use either custom code or Infoview)
3. Publish your java code to Enterprise
4. Schedule your java code to run, and set the events to wait for to the event you assigned in Step 2
