Working with data sources on Server only (convert live to extract, add schedule where none exists)

jasonscarlett May 9, 2012 5:30 AM

Is it possible using only the server to convert an existing published live data source to an extract? I know I can open/extract/re-publish the connection in a workbook/desktop, but can I do this without the desktop?
If an extract is published as a data source with no update schedule, can a schedule be added after the fact? Again, I know how to do this using the desktop tool, but is there a way to do this using only the server interface?

Hey Jason -

It's been a while since you asked this question, and I bet you've figured this out on your own. If not, let me give you some closure.

1. No - The extract creation / publishing must happen through Desktop.

2. Yes. Starting in Server 7.0, you'd select the workbook in the portal (via it's checkbox), click the blue Scheduled Tasks menu item, then in the Tasks page choose to add your Full/Incremental refresh.
