Partially implemented in 8.2, scheduler has print format and output type. Still missing is Summary and Language.

We prepare PR for this issue in upcoming weeks.

thanks @Hiep Lq, not sure if I understood the proposal
1 - doesn't sound good - that tab is useful for review and also update the scheduled values
Hiep Lq July 12, 2015 at 7:42 PM
form in https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-1486#icft=IDEMPIERE-1486 is great for this ticket.
but maybe improve as below:
1. remove tab parameter from schedule window
2. save default value parameter for schedule to MPInstance (maybe add column schedule_id for distinct)
3. WProcessParameterForm will extend from AbstractProcessDialog
@Carlos Ruiz wdyt?

20:34 CarlosRuiz can i disturb you with an - for us - important improvment - which can done by us just im interested in your opinion
CarlosRuiz
20:36 yes norbertbede
norbertbede
20:38 we use lot alerts with selects
20:38 we like it just cons is we need write lot sqls
20:39 e.g. storage detail, needs to be create independently regular view
20:39 Djoudi left the room (quit: Quit: Quitte).
norbertbede
20:39 other hands scheduler can run any report nice, but output can be only pdf
20:40 we create an improvement you set is as patch https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-1882
20:40 this working well in our installation. the same appeoach could be used in scheduler https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-2204
20:41 so the main point of improvment is extend scheduler with "prameters" language, output format, summary flag and printformat
20:41 then we can report automatically anything
20:41 wdyt ?
20:42 so 1882 approach could be used in scheduler too ?
20:42 i like to hear your point
20:43 its not important to get to core because 2.1 transition we can use it as patch just we want to make proper improement later could be accepted in repo
CarlosRuiz
20:44 yes - I like it - I would like to include that for 3.0
norbertbede
20:44 its ok so you prefer implement those 4 fields to scheduler ?
20:46 ocurieles_DCS @UNKNOWN_USER entered the room.
CarlosRuiz
20:46 yes - seems correct - Heng Sin did a form to capture the parameters on scheduler - can be worthy to try to include these parameters there too (but not mandatory=
norbertbede
20:49 just those parameters are not regular report/process parameters soon hardcoded "system parameters" - so could be placed not on tab parameters but on AD_Scheduler.
20:49 another way we need support to found the best place to application dict - if possible
20:50 maybe if you can suggest any java class where to implement for our employee tomassvikruha, he can done that easily
20:50 you know im just consultant not coder
20:51 ocurieles_DCS left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
norbertbede
20:51 thus Heng Sin form is which one ?
CarlosRuiz
20:51 let me check ...
norbertbede
20:51 pls thnks
CarlosRuiz
20:53 the form appears in the Scheduler window - pushing the gear button
norbertbede
20:55 any ticket ? exists
20:55 ?
CarlosRuiz
20:55 https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-1486
norbertbede
20:56 thnks. from code tomas will probably understand how to use this ?
CarlosRuiz
20:56 trying on demo - didn't work on GardenWorld - just System - maybe a mistake
20:59 ah - I see - the "CapturedProcessParameter" process is defined with access level "System Only"
20:59 maybe worthy to try to open it for Garden and see if it works too
norbertbede
21:01 just still thinking how to use it :/
21:01 i see its opening popup
21:01 its ok
21:02 so we can add new fields to AD_Scheduler
21:03 looks not enough intuitive
norbertbede
21:11 ops. sorry understand now
21:11 this popup opening regular paremetrs
We use scheduler for automate reports. Users wants reports in XLS format dont like pdf. I suggest to improve scheduler, with output format selection and additional changes:
1. Add to AD_Scheduler parameter output format - cause scheduler can produce pdf, xls, html, ps, xml (all suppported data formats)
2. Add to AD_Scheduler parameter Printformat (select from available printformats - users can receive from same process various report formats)
3. Summary checkbox - reports can be summarises
4. Report Language - report can be in requested language.
use case
1. scheduler send daily - storage details in xls, printformat: group by products, language english
2. scheduler send daily - open items in pdf, printformat: group by customers, language portugal
AT THIS MOMENT, we supplement this by writing scheduler alerts - producing XLS. Contra: lot of work, data output can be different then regular report (bug) etc.
