Associate report extraction job with server
In IWRS, all the available reports can be extracted from the system to the preset external server using scheduled jobs—automated tasks for data extraction. For the correct job execution and data retrieval, you associate all the jobs with the external servers configured for you in the ADMIN application, thus instructing the system where the extracted data must land.
Tip
You can associate each job with multiple servers, allowing for additional flexibility for simultaneous data extraction to several resources.
-
In the IWRS application header, select the REPORTS tab.
-
On the page that opens, from the left pane, select Report Extraction Job.
