Re: Declare-Report/Declare-Printer

Kelly,

 

I think you are misunderstood what I wanted to say. If I mention anything wrong, I would like to withdraw my comments. 

 

The Message I have included is a part of the mail what I have got from the PeepleSoft Global Support People. You can see the same thing by searching for the resolutions on PS Customer support using customer connection.

 

I don't know exactly whether it is a PeopleSoft Problem or SQR's.

 

I would like to here more regarding it from the user group.

 

Thanks

kris

Everyone,

This is NOT a PeopleSoft issue; it is a limitation of SQR.  PeopleSoft is
planning on building a workaround directly into the process scheduler in
release 8.x.
