•     The Scheduling icon allows for setting a schedule to have reports build into cache at a pre-determined time. Using scheduling will dramatically improve performance within the BI Tool effectively. It is best to set schedules based on the likelihood of how these views will be used in reports and when people will likely access them (hourly, daily, monthly etc.). If scheduling is on, the user will have access to rebuild the reporting cache on the fly and will get notice once complete.

 

 

The reports and users affected by scheduling this Data Source will be show on the right. There are three recurrence patterns: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.

 

§ Daily: The user may select Every Day or Weekday and decide how often the caching happens. When selecting the Specific option, choose the Start time and Until time, as well as the interval time between each caching as shown above.

 

 

§ Weekly: Allows the user to customize the days and times when caching will occur.

 

 

§ Monthly: users can specify which day of the month to build the cache either with a specific day of the month, or an interval (i.e. the first Friday of every month). You can also select the time of the day to start building the cache.
