We only save FULL PDF reports sent via email to /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/DM/repository based on type and user and date. They'd have to schedule a dashboad to run, and then check/monitor the directory structure for the new PDF being generated.
If you take the URL for the dashboard, and replace /desktop/ with /pdf/, the URL will return a PDF. But requires the CADefaultCookie login token to be passed to authenticate the request. That's what Email task does. It saves the desktop dashboard URL and changes /desktop/ to /pdf/ or /csv/ depending if generating a PDF or CSV. The email task can internally generate login tokens. But there really isn't a way for processes outside the product to.
Generate URL is really the only way we have currently for showing a PC view in another website.

Subject: NetOps Portal - Scheduled Email Report - Can we get it to write a PDF to a folder for retireval?
Customer has built a report they want to extract from NetOps Portal.
They need a way to Automatically pickup a report and include it in another system.
- Not manually, like the generate URL feature.
Unless there is an API that is available to call and get the report.
Specifically they want (IM Group ScoreCard Trend - Availability) showing a group with it's subgroups!
Each with a Percentage availability.
Is there a setting in PM to enable the PDF reports to be written to a folder on the NetOps Portal?
This would allow the user to pull the PDF file via script into the reporting system.
Thank you.
