Is there a generic ESS job that can submit any report dynamically
Generic ESS Job to submit any report job
Business Requirement:
Got a requirement for extracting a lot of data via multiple BIP reports for Enterprise Data Warehouse or any other vendor?
Creating ESS Jobs to schedule so many BIP reports is a tedious task. Also, they need to be created every time an instance gets cloned/refreshed… “Sounds like a pain?”
Well, no more, we have solution to all the misery of manual effort of creating multiple ESS jobs:
