Version 10 email capabilities

[jefffried]

I want to send a quarterly package of reports to various email recipients.____Is there a way to automatically send multiple reports to a filtered list of recipients with minimal or no user intervention, using:____1. runtime__2. full version____If so, any insight to this would be greatly appreciated. The section in the docs describing export to MAPI with the bursting option seems to require manual intervention, and it appears to deal with only one report.____Thanks.

Version 10+ supports unattended email bursting. It uses the command line __R?WRUN.EXE /M<reportname>__and requires a designer license to be present.______Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____It sounds exciting. First, how much is an upgrade from 10 to 10+?____Second, are you saying that with RRWRUN /M I will be able to set up the following as a "push one button and have it all happen" procedure:____1. Have a group of reports (all records in a control file, so the command line might be RRWRUN /M CTRLFILE 1 2 3 4 5) all sent to a group of recipients, one after the other until complete, in a completely unattended manner?____2. Can the group of recipients be identified as a query, such as a logical true for certain records, and where is that factored in when developing an unattended procedure?____Also, will this all work using an AOL account, or does, in this one case, the sender need to sign up for a standard, non-AOL account?____Thanks.____Jeff

To run a group of reports you would create a batch file using__RRWRUN.EXE /Mreport1__RRWRUN.EXE /Mreport2__RRWRUN.EXE /Mreport3____Within your report the SendTo field can be a calculated field so you can control the email recipient list. ____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____If the send to field is calculated, I assume you^re saying that if you have, say, 40 recipients, you would create a field with 40 email addresses each separated by a comma or something. Is there a way to run down a list, one by one, in an automated way, rather than forming a field of recipients? What if that list expands to 400? That then becomes a long recipient field.____Thanks.____Jeff
