Distributing a Visual Discovery File With ReportCaster
You can use ReportCaster to schedule the distribution
of a Visual Discovery .txt file of format VISDIS, through File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This feature
allows WebFOCUS to dynamically refresh report content with Visual
Discovery components without distributing all the elements of the
report.
For details on ReportCaster and its implementation of this feature,
see the ReportCaster Development and Administration manual.
