To suspend a report
1 Choose Report➤Suspend.
2 Save the report by choosing File➤Save.
Reporter lets you suspend a report, preventing its generation until you
activate it. When a report is suspended, the entire report definition—
parameters, schedule, output set-up—is maintained.
For example, you might use this feature to prevent a report from being
generated during a site shutdown. You could then simply activate the
report later, without having to redefine or reschedule the report.
The Status window indicates whether a report is suspended.
A suspended report continues to have a crontab entry, but the report is
disabled and will not be generated. To remove a report from your
crontab file, use the Status window’s Report➤Remove feature,
discussed on page 58.
See Also “To remove selected reports” on page 58.
To activate a suspended report
1 Choose Report➤Activate.
2 Save the report by or choosing File➤Save.
When you activate a suspended report, it is again scheduled to be gener-
ated according to the parameters and schedule that have already been
defined.
