Seeing How Your Report Ran
How did your report run?
Execution occurs in a "Report Batch Job" with the batch containing one or more "Report Jobs". The run time for a batch depends on report complexity and system load. Some Batches finish in seconds, but complex reports may take hours. If a scheduled report fails, see which macro(s) are responsible by viewing the report's Progress Page. This gives error and duration information about a report that has run:
- Click Schedules
- Select a Schedule and then click:
- Latest Progress button to view the Progress page for the last run
- Batch Jobs to see previous runs and information about the success and timing of the run, and then for a required Batch Job, click View Progress to see the Progress page for that run.
- As you would with a still-running report, you can click each macro to view further information.
When Macros Fail
Macros are coloured as follows:
- Warnings are shown in yellow
- Macro errors are shown in red
- System errors are shown in dark red
- Deferred macros - such as
[EndEmail:]
and[EmailReport:]
macros, which are processed at the end of the report, are shown in grey until they are finally processed - Still-running macros are shown in blue
If you see a failed macro:
1. Click the macro and see the problem in the Macro Details pane as below.

2. Click Copy to copy the macro to Report Studio to work on and replicate the problem.
