The Reporting Agent is a tool used to schedule reporting functions in the background.

The following functions are available:

• Evaluating exceptions
• Printing queries
• Pre-calculating Web templates
• Pre-calculating characteristic variables of type pre-calculated value sets.

2. You assign the individual settings to scheduling packets for background processing.

3. You schedule the scheduling packet.

The Reporting Agent interface consists of two tree structures:

• The left-hand tree gives you an overview of the available objects as well as the settings that have already been made. To give you a better overview, you can filter according to Queries with settings in the Exceptions and Print functions.

• The right-hand tree gives you an overview of the scheduling package and manages the background processing.
