scheduled task - adding logon ID and Password to command line

[funkmonsteruk]

I've set up my PC to run a couple of Business Objects reports as scheduled tasks. However i'm having trouble adding my logon ID and password to the command line, any suggestions

Create a new shortcut with this command line in the 'Target'

"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 5.0\BUSOBJ.EXE" -user USER -pass PASSWORD -nologo "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 5.0\UserDocs\ReportName.rep"

The path to your BUSOBJ.EXE file may be different of course, you may need to adjust.
Change USER to your user ID, and PASSWORD to the password for that user.
the -nologo makes the splash screen not appear.
Change ReportName.rep to your report name.


Then, the 'Start in' line should be:
"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 5.0\UserDocs"
(or whatever the appropriate path is)

Hope that works for you! You can easily use this code to put in the scheduled task. I just suggested an icon for testing.
