In the reporting data flow I am defining, I want the users to be able to publish some data outputs manually. It could be managed using the Button 'Publish all'....except that this button is displayed in DataManager tab, which is not displayed in free Viewers. How can I move the option to another other tab or main menu? Thanks in advance. Alfonso
Alfonso - Can we see a screenshot of the data and output flow as defined in your DataManager workspace? Are you publishing IOK files only to free Viewers? What is the output you want users to trigger...export to Excel?
Alfonso - Make sure you are working on your organisation's Server installation. The auto-publish option for output blocks is only available from Server Editions. If all files/blocks in the chain are set to auto-refresh, and the output(s) to auto-publish, then any time the source(s) change, new output(s) should be refreshed, published and delivered automatically, using Batch Publishing.
Hi Alfonso - You have an Omniscope Server licence with Scheduler and event-driven watch folder, so you can enable even users who have only free Viewers to publish one or more output blocks from a DataManager workflow on demand.
First, create a simple web page interface (which could display from inside the Web View of your distributed IOK report files) enabling your users to upload new/refreshed data sets and also select which pre-configured output block they wanted to publish using the central data flow and transformations you have defined.
Your web server, on receiving new end user data and publish instructions from your page displayed in the Web View, could then create a corresponding Scheduler XML Action file and copy it into the designated Scheduler watch folder to trigger an event-driven refresh and output publish action.
Each XML Action file saved to the watch folder will be deleted automatically on execution, and the Scheduler will then wait for the next client to upload new data, specify their output, and through your web server-side code, cause a corresponding version of an XML Actions file to be written to the watch folder.
