Email Bursting

Any way we can get this back or revisited? I understand that the last attempt affected some users. I dont know how it was implemented last time or under what circumstances it affected some but not others but perhaps a work around would be to put the code back in and have a enable/disable button (defaulted to disable) that would allow those of us that want to try the feature to do so. Yeah I know its not pretty.

Regards.

I will try to revive this feature

Try Crystal Delivery 6.0.9

The list of email addresses needs to be a parameter in you Crystal Report. You then use the %PV?% dynamic parameter to use set the destination address. You will have to set the 'Export Prompt' to 'Email To'

An example set up would be:

Thanks for the quick response! I am a little unclear with the implementation. Do I need to ensure that each bursted section of the report will line up with the email order listed in the parameter list to ensure that the proper section goes to the correct email address?

Example:
Im my situation I will be running a supplier report and I want it to burst against each supplier and email each section to the respective supplier. The same suppliers (or number of suppliers) may not show up from week to week however. From the implementation of this feature it looks like the email list is static which could result in report sections emailed to the wrong supplier. So the only way around this I can think of would be to use the static email addresses in the parameter list as the criteria for selecting suppliers in the report (email address are in the db for each supplier) assuming this is possible. I suppose that this may yield no data for some suppliers when there is no data for them during a given week but thats OK.

Does this sound correct - do I understand the implementation correctly?

Thanks for your help with this.

This is the method I would try.

I think there is a bug.

I tried the bursting fuction with two sets of parameters and in the single email fuction. When I had the "Include all exported files in a singel email" checked, it seem to take the last value of the burst list and email a double report.

Then I unchecked that "Include all exported files in a single email" it seemed to work perfectly.

Any estimated time when the Email Bursting when sending a single email will be fixed?
