The option to create an instance of the source document from a publication

Question

Hi,
I have a question about the attitude of Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 with creating instances with scheduled publications.
We have different publications scheduled with a deski report as source document. After running a publication always an instance is created behind the publication as a log file. If I look at the source document that was published  I donu2019t see an instance. I would like to automatically create an instance of the source document when the publication ran.
In a few of my publications an instance is created on the(deski) source document when the publication ran successfully. How can I set the option to create an instance of the source document  of the publication?
Thanks,
Regards,
Pieter

Create an interface. say
package MyPackage;
public Interface APlugin {
     void runPlugin();
}Then your plugin implements this interface. Then, to load and execute the interface:
try {
      Class pClass = class.forName(className);
       APlugin plugin = (APlugin) pClass.newInstance();
        plugin.runPlugin();
   catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
        .... plugin not found
   } catch(ClassCastException e) {
        .... plugin class found but doesn't implement APlugin
    } catch(InstantiationException e) {
        ... plugin badly defined e.g. doesn't have no-arg constructor
    } catch(IllegalAccessException e) {
        ... plugin or it's constructor not public
     }
