Change Expire Date

Explanation

This activity is used to change the expire date of reports that are saved in the BA export archive during the export of Excel reports without BA functionality.

A default expire date is suggested for the report when it is archived during the export of Excel report without BA functionality. This default value is determined by a parameter called BA_ARCHIVE_REPORT_LIFETIME in the BA System Parameters window of IFS Solution Manager. A report is automatically removed from the BA export archive on its expire date.

Prerequisites

• A value must have been entered for the BA_ARCHIVE_REPORT_LIFETIME parameter in the BA System Parameters window of IFS Solution Manager.
• The BA report for which you want to change the expire date must be saved in the BA export archive.
• The user ID you will use to perform this activity must have access to the report in the BA export archive.
