Hi,

had anyone able to use the agent to send file for dynamic naming convention. i.e. FILENAME_SYSDATE, FILENAME_021816.XLS???

Thanks in advance!!

    Hi

    You could modify Paul McGarrick's "Export to file system" solution

    You can use a VB Script to set the file name.

    Thx Joel!!

    well, that is to rename and move files; however, will deter me from achieving my goal as there are too many i have to build;

    I am reluctant to use BI Publisher which i can use to accomplish this.

    I am trying to see if there is a newer version of obiee or new trick that agent itself can do this dynamic naming of the file.

    Thx!

    No, OBIEE doesn't "do that trick". BI Publisher is there for that reason...
