Summary


This article describes the various options for simulating deliveries during Burst execution. Simulating deliveries allows for Burst execution, which includes all report processing (refresh, filter, publish, etc.), while suppressing delivery of report content.

Simulate Deliveries can be enabled at the individual Burst level.

  • Open the Burst
  • Select the Burst tab

  • Select Yes
  • Select Save


Uncheck Yes and Save to enabled deliveries.

The IBMAINT command Simulate All Bursts enables the Simulate Deliveries option at the Burst level for all Bursts. It is possible to disable the Simulate Deliveries option at an individual Burst level using this option.
