Creating or Updating a Cache
To create or update a cached version of a report, you need to:
- Enable Caching—You need to enable caching before you can create a cached version of the report output. You do this on a report-by-report basis, including for report views, by editing the Report Details to set Enable caching.
- Turn on Update Cache—Configure PPM to update the cache by selecting Update Cache on the Report Schedule or Run Report With Options page.
- Create the Cache—Run the report to create the cached report. You can do this in two ways:
- Run the report with options - Run the report with the Delivery option set to Update Cache. All valid formats are generated (Format selector is set to HTML and disabled). Note: If a schedule is enabled for the report and that schedule specifies PDF formatting options, those options are used for the PDF output here. If this is not the case, the PDF output uses default formatting options.
- Schedule the report - Schedule the report to run while the Update Cache option is selected and cached output is created in the format(s) selected when the report runs (HTML format is always selected and generated, even if you do not explicitly select it).
