Setting the attachment name in web service call scheduleReport

Question

Hi there,
I searched the forum for this, found lots of threads but no useful solution...
I am using BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 and I need to send a PDF report by email using its web service functionality. This works fine but the report is attached as "attachment.pdf" which is far from ideal. Is it possible to specify what the attachment should be called (e.g. "veryimportantreport.pdf")
See below an example of the web service call I am doing.
Thanks
Luis

Sorry, product currently does not provide a way to name the attachment. I have entered an enhancement request to get that into a future release.That is a bit disappointing but thanks for letting me know!
We are using BIP to generate reports from Apex and it works very well, except for this small detail.
By the way, you sound very sure; are you related to Oracle in any way (I mean, is this an "official" answer)? I can't tell from your profile...
Cheers
