Scheduling Reports based on time and eventReports can be schedule based on time or event using MicroStrategy scheduler.Event based Scheduling: Lets assume we have a status table (name: load_status) in our warehouse whichindicates an event of a fact table data load. We wanted to execute a few reports based on the event (when itturns '1').Command manager scriptCreate a command manager script (name:fact_load.scp) with a "trigger event" command. This will be a .scp filewith the following command (assuming "FACT LOAD" is the event name)TRIGGER EVENT "FACT LOAD";Shell ScriptCreate a shell script (name:face_load.sh) which will have the SQL to check the status table (load_status) for aparticular event (in our case - '1'). If the status is 1, the shell script will run the command manager script(fact_load.scp). Upon successful completion, a post SQL can be included to change the event to '0' in theload_status table. Below is a sample shell script-
