You can use ReportCaster to schedule WebFOCUS reports (Server Procedures, Standard Reports and My Reports), any file, including legacy reports or third party files, or the contents of a URL and send the output in a variety of formats via FTP, printer, email, fax, mobile device or to our optional Report Library product.
