Summary

  • Users can schedule an SAP Crystal report to run at a future time using the Central Management Console (CMC) or BI Launch Pad.
  • The web client submits a schedule request via the web server, which is then interpreted by the web application server and sent to the Central Management Server (CMS) with relevant details.
  • The CMS verifies the user's permission to schedule the object and, if approved, adds a new record to the CMS system database and its list of pending schedules.
  • At the scheduled time, the CMS sends the request to the Adaptive Job Server, which retrieves the program object from the Input FRS and runs the report using the Program Scheduling Services.
  • Upon successful scheduling, the CMS sends a confirmation response to the web application server, which then generates the next HTML page for the web client.
