Setting the default disk destination

1. Go to the Servers management area of the CMC.
2. Click the link to the Report or Program Job Server whose settings you want to change.
3. On the Destinations tab, click the Crystal Enterprise.DiskUnmanaged link.
4. On the Properties tab, set the default values to be used at schedule time:
   • Destination Directory

     Type the absolute path to the directory. The directory can be on a local drive of the Job Server machine, or on any other machine that you can specify with a UNC path.

   • Default File Name (randomly generated)

     Select this option if you want Crystal Enterprise to generate a random file name.

   • Specified File Name

     Select this option if you want to specify a file name—you can also add a variable to the file name. To add a variable, choose a placeholder for a variable property from the list and click Add. When each instance runs, the variable is replaced with the appropriate information. For example, when you add the variable "Owner," the file name of each object includes the object owner's name.

   • User Name

     Specify a user who has permission to write files to the destination directory.

   • Password

     Type the password for the user.

     In this example, the destination directory is on a network drive that is accessible to the Report Job Server machine through a UNC path. Each file name will be randomly generated, and a user name and password have been specified to grant the Report Job Server permission to write files to the remote directory.

     

5. Click Update.
6. Return to the server's Destinations tab, select the check box that corresponds to your newly defined destination, and click Enable.
