Build MII scheduled job from BLT?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is it possible in MII 12.0 to create a new job from a BLT?

I only know it is possible to enable / disable a job using a XML query like this:

/XMII/Illuminator?service=Scheduler&mode=Enable&ID=<JobID>
/XMII/Illuminator?service=Scheduler&mode=Disable&ID=<JobID>

Michael,

Normally scheduled jobs are created by users with admin rights for some obvious reasons. It is highly recommended that you schedule jobs through the Scheduler Editor. However, it is possible to import a job if the id is a match or it will insert if no id match is found. This can be done by the following URL:

http://server:port/XMII/Illuminator?service=Scheduler&mode=Import&Payload=<xml>;

Thanks Kevin!

As you stated correctly the scheduling should not be done by a user. We are looking for alternatives for a requirement where users can define if a report should run manually or periodically.

But the link is interesting!
