Controlling When Schedules Run After Blackout Periods

If you have a recurring schedule that is not allowed to run during a designated Blackout Period, you can ensure that the schedule runs at the same time the following day. To activate this feature, select the Set Next Run Time to Day After Blackout Period End check box in the ReportCaster Console. Using this feature removes the need to manually adjust the recurrence of a schedule or create a separate schedule.

To access the Set Next Run Time to Day After Blackout Period End check box, navigate to the ReportCaster Console. On the ribbon, in the Show group, click the Configuration button to display the Configuration options for the Console. In the side panel, click the General Preferences folder to display the check box, as shown in the following image.

To enable this option, select the check box and then save and restart ReportCaster from the ReportCaster Console.

The next time a schedule is unable to run due to a blackout date, this setting reschedules the distribution to occur the next day, at the same time, even if the schedule is not set to run that day.
