Answer 1

If you are using windows, java script will work fine.
In the "Advanced" tab of the iBot screen, select Add Actions --> Custom Script, select JavaScript.
In the top text box, specify the Javascript filename (ex: Results.js). Select the second radio button under "Results" section that reads "Pass delivery content to script".
Under " Other Parameters" section, specify a filename where you want the results to be captured.
Create a javascript file (Ex; Results.js) and paste the following code. Parameter(1) woukld be the filename you specify and Parameter(0) would be Javascript filename.
This file should be under the following directory %OracleBI%\server\scripts\Common
var FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fileName = "F:\\" + Parameter(1);
var fooFile = FSO.CopyFile(Parameter(0), fileName, true);
Make changes to the javascript as needed (specifically the folder where you want the file captured.
