Planning Production

When the design is finalized and the report is put into production, the IT professional who is running the report needs the following information from you:

• Output type. Decide what type of output you want. Text, HTML, IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file (.sav), and IBM SPSS Statistics Output XML (OXML) are available. See the topic Output for more information.
• Other Batch Facility options. Decide if you want to use other Batch Facility options when the report is run. See the topic Output Options for more information.
• Schedule. Decide when and how frequently you will run the report.
• Up-to-date data. Coordinate report production with updates to your data source.
• Output location and deployment. Decide where to store the results and how to deploy them to the end users at your site.
