[MT-L] ZFTP.TITLE + Meditech C/S Report Scheduler?

[Mitch Lawrence]

Is there an equivalent command for specifying a filename for use with
Meditech C/S Report Scheduler?

While the "Unique" option in the output of the RS parameters is helpful, it
doesn't allow for custom naming such as days of the week, etc.

Thanks,

Mitch

Mitch,
It depends on if the connection to PPII has already been opened or not in
your report. I came up with a Z macro to accommodate both situations, we
usually setup the path and filename in an AL CLOSE.UP macro. Here is the
code..

Code:
; Expects:
; A - Full Folder Path (ie. "\\server\folder\ ")
; B - Unique File Name (ie "filename_20120112.txt")
IF{'A;
'B;
IF{@Z.ppii.connected A_B^!F[1];
A_B^/ZDOWN.PATH}};

Hiya Mitch!
I assume your C/S MIS Report Scheduler is close enough to our 6.0n version
for me to push this to you.

What follows is my exchange with MT on customizing the naming
convention.down below.

It didn't work exactly as the KB indicated but I muddled into the solution
and wrote MT of it.

You'll need to read bottom up.

And there's a fix in 6.05 PP13 which might help you as well.

That one is right here.

CS NPR 3212 - Customer R/W: Z.c.cust.rw.download.path is no longer respected
in 5.6+

Available in Releases: 6.0 SR6, 6.04 SR24, 6.05 SR8, 6.06 SR0, 6.1 SR3, 6.12
SR9, 6.13 SR0

Request Type: Correction

Associated Requests: LSS NPR 67

Features: RW/REPORTS

Search Flags: Canadian: N; Parameters: N; Conversions: N; Data Definitions:
N; Regulatory: N; Documentation: N

General Description

Previously, customer reports that called a macro that set up
Z.c.cust.rw.download.path would not download automatically. The Print
Dialog would display. This was not necessary.

With this change those types of reports will download automatically.

Testing Notes

Setup and Prerequisites:

Create, or locate, a report that calls a macro setting up
Z.c.cust.rw.download.path. This can be done by calling the macro from the
Report Title.

For example:

1. Given a report, ADM.PAT.zcus.jm.macro.title

2. The macro called "select" is coded as follows:

; "C:\"_@.today_@.now_".txt"^Z.c.cust.rw.download.path},
"C:\Documents and
Settings\CLIENT\Desktop\test.txt"^Z.c.cust.rw.download.path,
"Report Title from Macro";

3. The Report Title is:

"_%(ADM)PAT..zcus.jm.macro.title.M..select("")_"

When this report is run, it should download directly to the designated file
path on the client:

C:\Documents and Settings\CLIENT\Desktop\test.txt

Prior to this change, the Print Dialog would display when it should not
have.

Testing Steps:

1. Run the report.

2. Verify the report downloads correctly and that the Print Dialog does not
display.

I figure we should be able to use UNC in that path but my scheduler is
running fine with my previous effort.

Hey dudes...here's another tip on this....

The name can't be in the MIS Report Scheduler at the end of the path.

Also, you've got to force the NPR routine you're scheduling to "Rebuild the
screen" after making the title call in the macro edit.

And then reschedule by running the NPR to "Schedule" again and overwrite the
current one.

I had to play with an MIS.DOC one a while before making it happen but it's
doing it now. One more to go!

Thanks again Tim.

Testing is looking pretty good thus far!

I had to set the download in MIS Report Scheduler to "Overwrite" and, this
is the interesting part, take out the name in the path in the MIS Report
Scheduler mnemonic ("cdmhcpcs.txt") but leave the root path
"\\Wmh-vmw-cacl2\Actus-CDM-Data-Drop\
<file:///\\Wmh-vmw-cacl2\Actus-CDM-Data-Drop\> "

This really, really offers more flexibility for me.

I appreciate it....

I'll open an issue of you want to complete it!

Hi Mark,

Yes, Knowledge Base 38192 describes the steps to set up a report to
automatically run with a unique date and time when downloading a custom
report.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim!

Is there any method, variable or cheat whereby I can create a custom output
name for a custom NPR routine scheduled in the MIS Report Scheduler?

Other than the one that exists there within the MIS Report Scheduler for
adding a date/time stamp?

Yes...I have vendors who are asking for the date stamp in a specific format.

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for this post. I have been fighting with MT for over 1 month to
get a report scheduled that had the Z.c.cust.rw.download.path already in it. I
now have it scheduled to run tomorrow.
