Warning: Export file name

Issue

I'm setting up a scheduled task to run a report and there's a warning message that says, "If there is not a file name stored for the definition then the task will not be processed." What does this mean?

Export file name 

 

 

Explanation

The scheduled task to run a report is using a report definition that saves the report as an export file in a location on a computer, network, or cloud. The path and file name where to save the report is not included in the report definition, so the report cannot be saved. 

 

Solution

To fix this issue, 

  • add the location where the export file will be created to the report definition. 

  • save the report definition. You may need to save save as a new report definition if you need to create a new report definition to run the scheduled task. 

  • update the scheduled task to use the updated report definition.
