Dashboards & Visualizations

Scheduled PDF Email displays charts that are still "loading"

Hi. I have created a dashboard that includes a chart and 2 tables, which I have Scheduled for PDF Delivery. It works fine - sometimes. The email comes, with the attached PDF, which shows the chart and 2 tables. Perfect.

Other times, though, the chart and 2 tables are incomplete, showing a status of "Loading...", as well as a 'percent complete' (e.g., 66.19%).

It appears that the PDF creation terminates before the associated saved searches are finished.

What to do?

Thx,

Yep, some of my scheduled pdf not show all of the results even it could be seem in the views. And it's seems that no solution right now.

OK! This makes sense, and is consistent with the behavior. It is a somewhat lengthy search - charting indexing volume over the past several months.

So... CAN I CHANGE THE PDF SERVER TIMEOUT?

Or... Can anyone suggest other workarounds that I might try?

Thx!

Check how long your searches typically run. The PDF server has a time out of 4 minutes or so. After that it just generates the chart based on the data it has received thus far.
