BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Setting notification for an object's success or failure

You can set scheduling options that automatically send notification when an object instance succeeds or fails. You can send notification using audit or email notification. You can also combine multiple notification methods, and provide different notification settings for successful and failed instances.

For example, you may have a large number of reports that run every day. You need to check each instance to make sure it ran properly, and then send out emails to the users who need to know that the new report is available. With thousands of reports, it would take too much time to manually check the reports and contact the users who need the information. Using notification settings in BusinessObjects Enterprise, you can set each object to notify you automatically when the report fails to run properly, and you can automatically inform users when new report instances run successfully.
