Hi

I have no idea what's in the Report Mail, but I turned it on just for fun.
I doesnt get send .. it needs a parameter. The log says

> Finished execution of Mail Reports with result: Failure, Error message: Report Mail Triggered... Required parameter missing: instanceId

I can enter parameters in the jobs setting, but what does it want ? instance of what ?

curious,

I'm not certain, but I think the error is generated when no report is set up to be mailed. Try setting up a report so that it is set to be mailed to an address, and see if the scheduled job still throws an error.

Not sure if you are still having the problem but, it sounds like the specifics about WHICH report to send are not set up.

You have to tell the process which report you want run using the parameters of the Scheduled job. Each report needs a job of its own so the report is called, results are returned and then emailed to your destination.

You must have:
1. The report created with an email address in report settings.
2. A job for that specific report with InstanceID in the parameters where InstanceId is the unique ID for the specific report you want sent.

You can find out more information and the correct format for the parameters here:
