Usage Note 17365: Scheduled Reports window does not update status when a scheduled report has run

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
When you schedule a report in SAS Web Report Studio, the List of
Scheduled Reports window does not update to reflect the status of that
report. Even though this window has not been updated, the report has, in
fact, run.

The problem will occur when the username in the SAS Web Report Studio
configuration file does not match the JSUser name for the LSF
Administrator. This can happen when the LSF_USER_DOMAIN has been defined
in the LSF configuration file (conf.lsf on the machine where LSF is
installed).  The LSF Administrator username is set in the
lsf.cluster.<clustername> file on the machine where LSF is installed.

To circumvent the problem, make sure the SAS Web Report Studio
configuration specifies the same username as the JSUser for the LSF
Administrator as illustrated in the following table:

LSF_USER_DOMAIN=DOMAIN1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OS USER from the client   |  JS User |  OS User on Server            |
                          |          |-------------------------------|
                          |          | UNIX Server | Windows Server  |
--------------------------|----------|-------------|-----------------|
Username (UNIX)           | Username | Username    | Domain1\Username|
--------------------------|----------|-------------|-----------------|
Domain1\Username (WIN)    | Username | Username    | Domain1\Username|
--------------------------|----------|-------------|-----------------|
Domain2\Username (WIN)    | Username | invalid     | Domain2\Username|
---------------------------------------------------------------------|

LSF_USER_DOMAIN=
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OS USER from the client |  JS User       | OS User on Server          |
                        |                |----------------------------|
                        |                |UNIX Server| Windows Server |
------------------------|----------------|-----------|----------------|
Username (UNIX)         | Username       | Username  | invalid        |
------------------------|----------------|-----------|----------------|
Domain1\Username (WIN)  |Domain1\Username| invalid   |Domain1\Username|
------------------------|----------------|-----------|----------------|
Domain2\Username (WIN)  |Domain2\Username| invalid   |Domain2\Username|
----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Note, when running on the Windows operating system, when the scheduling
user name (usually lsfuser) is a local userid, the domain would be "."
(without the quotes). As a result, the JS User to specify for SAS Web
Report Studio would be:

    .\lsfuser
