WEBI Report Scheduling based on event.

Question

Hello All,
We have a requirement to schedule a webi report based on event generated by ETL loads.
Scheduling works fine based on events.My requirement is If event is not generated we want to schedule the report at specific time.Lets assume event will generate between 10 Am to 11 Am.If event is not generated report will not schedule,but we want schedule report after 11 Am.
Please let us know if any one have solution for the above
Thanks,
Kumar

You can schedule your report based on the file event to look for the trigger file till 11 AM. If the file not generated, you can use the below VB Script to generate the file in the desired location by 11 AM.
Private Sub writeDebug(ByVal x As String)
    Dim path As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)
    Dim FILE_NAME As String = path & "\mydebug.txt"
    MsgBox(FILE_NAME)
    If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = False Then
        System.IO.File.Create(FILE_NAME).Dispose()
    End If
    Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME, True)
    objWriter.WriteLine(x)
    objWriter.Close()
End Sub
Script does the below operations:
It will verify if the file already exist for the day.
If it does not exist, it will overwrite the old file with the new one. If already exist, the script will end.
Script contains "Debug" function which will be helpful for your analysis.
Add this program to your scheduler to run everyday at 11 AM.
