I have a code unit which has the prupose to Save a report in PDF format by using the funciton REPORT.SAVEASPDF. When this codeunit is called from a card menu item, the report is saved successfully. If this code unit is called from a Job Queue, the report is not been saved.

Note: NAS is installed and the Job queue is working for other functionality such as inserting data in tables, send e-mail and saving a report in HTML format by using the function SAVEASHTML.

Any ideas regarding this issue.

thanks

    Hi

    Nas is like Classic Client without an interface.
    You cannot create a PDF with a NAS. You can create a PDF with a published Web Service, called by a Nas (if it can be useful).

    Hi All,

    Can some one provide more information on how to get the Job Queue executed in 3 tier.

    I have a codeunit which creates PDF copy of the report when called from the RTC. I would like the same code to be executed using Job Queue but it doesnt work. All I know is that the comand to create the PDF copy of the report works only with RTC.

    The below posting from Matteo says 'You can create a PDF with a published Web Service, called by a Nas (if it can be useful)'. I am looking for how to call the published codeunit from nas to have the PDF copy created.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
