You can trigger report automation executions using the program runppmreport.bat. To do so, call runppmreport.bat for the relevant client with your PPM user name and password and the –triggerreportautomation argument as follows.
runppmreport -client <client name> -user <user name> -password <user password> –triggerreportautomation
Example
runppmreport -client umg_en -user system -password manager –triggerreportautomation
The program runppmreport.bat is located in the bin directory of the PPM installation.
<PPM installation directory>\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\ppm-client-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\bin
The due report automations are run under the account of the user with which they are associated. This takes the privileges and restrictions (e.g., data access privileges) of the corresponding user account into account.
It is impossible to run report automations and individual report definitions simultaneously with runppmreport.bat. This means that you cannot use the arguments for running individual report definitions if you use –triggerreportautomation.
Prerequisite
You have the Report management function privilege.
Procedure
Enter all required arguments for the variable <arguments>.
The program is started with the specified parameters and the due and activated report automations are executed.
