Troubleshooting Report Scheduler plug-in issues

The Report Scheduler plug-in is used to schedule a BIRT report. This plug-in is used for calculating the next schedule to publish a report based on a recurring value that is provided when defining the schedule for the BIRT Report.

Plug-in type

Report Scheduler is a Java-based Filter API plug-in.

AR System server connectivity

The AR System server interacts with the Report Scheduler plug-in by using the BMC Remedy AR System Java API.

The plug-in arreportVerNum.jar and arreportingapiVerNum.jar ( — VerNum represents the release version number) is installed in the <ARInstallationFolder>\pluginsvr folder.

Configuration information

The configuration information of the Report Scheduler plug-in is available in the AR System Administration: Plugin Server Configuration form.

The AR System Administration: AR System Configuration Generic UI form includes the Server-Plugin-Alias parameter setting that points to the correct plug-in server alias.
Server-Plugin-Alias: ARSYS.ARF.REPORTSCHEDULER ARSYS.ARF.REPORTSCHEDULER myServer:9999
