OneWorld Report

This operation provides a mechanism to launch an existing OneWorld report on to a particular server or to run locally.

SLIK calls a JDE API to submit the report to the nominated server and then polls the remote server’s report queue waiting for the completion of the report.  If the report completes with an ‘E’ (error) status then the standard processing option is to log the error and to stop further processing of jobs in the batch.  This can be overridden using the Jobs Processing options.

By default the system waits up to 60 minutes before considering the report timed-out. However you can specify the expected wait period at the time you define the OneWorld report operation.

One World operations are created using the following form:
