Scheduling an object allows you to run it
automatically at specified times. When a scheduled object runs successfully, an
instance is created. An instance is a version of the object that contains data
from the time that the object was run.
You can see a list of instances by looking
at an object's history, and you can view any of the instances. If you have the
rights to view objects on demand, you can view and refresh any instance to
retrieve the latest data from the data source.
By scheduling and viewing instances, you
can ensure that the objects have the most up-to-date information available for
viewing, printing, and distributing.
Note: Before you schedule
objects, be sure to check your time zone setting on the Preferences page in
InfoView. The default
time zone is local to the web server that runs
BusinessObjects
Enterprise, not the CMS to which users connect. Set the time zone to
ensure that your scheduled objects are processed in accordance with the time
zone in which you are working.
