Hello, and welcome to this new feature video. This video will introduce you to the new session timeout settings, which are new as of WebFOCUS Release 8.2 Version 04.
Settings on the BI Portals page of the Administration Console Configuration tab help you configure a user-friendly session time-out experience that keeps your operations secure and minimizes user inconvenience.
Idle sessions expose potentially sensitive data and system resources to unauthorized use. Like other applications, WebFOCUS automatically ends an idle session after a specified amount of time. 

Hello, and welcome to our ReportCaster video on Blackout Period Warnings.

This option is accessed by navigating to the ReportCaster Console and setting the Processing for Blackout Period Job Termination option to Warning.

The main difference between the error setting and the warning setting involves whether or not error notifications are sent through email.

Welcome to our ReportCaster video on Overriding Parameter Values.
This option provides more ways to edit and control the distributions of a called schedule from within the calling schedule.
*In the calling schedule, you can easily and repeatedly override the default parameters used in the called schedule, without having to edit the called schedule.
Instead, the called schedule can be used as a base for numerous calling schedules, each with a different parameter value. 
Here’s how this feature works.

This video will demonstrate how to use amper variables as parameter values.    
    
This ability reduces the need for a report to be updated before it is run. 

In this example, we will use a report procedure that contains date values. These values can then be used as parameters. 

Right click the report procedure (FEX), point to schedule, and then click Repository. When you save this schedule, a report will be distributed back to your folder. 
On the ribbon, in the options group, click the Parameters tab to display the Task Parameters dialog box

Welcome to our ReportCaster Video on using the Java Heap Dump feature. 

This feature enables you to easily generate a java heap dump file directly from the ReportCaster Console, which can be an easier option than using the command line to generate a heap dump file.

Having an easier way to create a Java Heap Dump file can help streamline the troubleshooting process for certain types of software issues.

Hello, and welcome to our ReportCaster video on scheduling other schedules. This feature allows you to use a single schedule to initiate one or more schedules.

You can also create event-driven schedules. For example, if the first run of a called schedule is unsuccessful, you can make the calling schedule attempt to run the called schedule again.

Welcome to our ReportCaster video on Controlling When Schedules Run After Blackout Periods.

When a schedule is terminated during a designated Blackout Period, you can select the Set Next Run Time to Day After Blackout Period End option. This feature allows a recurring schedule to automatically run at the same time the following day after the blackout period ends. You do not have to adjust the recurrence of the schedule, nor create a separate schedule. 

Once you select this option, it immediately applies to any schedules that run during a blackout period.

This video will introduce the SET CDN command.  CDN, or Continental Decimal Notation, provides an easy way to localize the format of your numeric data depending on its intended audience.
Like all set commands, when you create a procedure, such as a chart or report, in App Studio, you can enable CDN from the Set canvas.  To access the Set canvas, open the Procedure View panel, right-click a component, point to New, and click Set.
Click CDN and then click Add.  CDN is listed under Used Settings, and a list of available values is shown with the current value specified.  

This video introduces the Environments Tree Panel. You will learn how to access different types of WebFOCUS environments. You will also learn what types of environments exist, how to login to an environment, and how to customize your Environments Tree view.
The Environments Tree panel is the first panel you see when you open App Studio. By default, it is located on the left side of your screen.
The content in the Environments Tree panel is organized by nodes that you can expand to display content. 

JavaScript functions can be a great way to add extra functionality to your HTML pages.  One such example is the IbComposer setCalendarDatesRange function, which allows you to set the range of days for a target calendar, depending on a specified date in a source calendar.
The function includes the following arguments:
The name of the target calendar control
The start and end date for the range
Let’s look at an example.  As you can see here, this HTML page contains 2 calendar controls, with the IbComposer setCalendarDatesRange function already applied.
