Copying a report may fail if the folder is in use by any application, including Windows Explorer. To test a connection, check the number of connections allowed on the folder. If you have just created a folder and the folder is open in Windows explorer, the test connection will fail for default settings since the default number of connections allowed on a folder is one. - Select a credential from the drop-down menu, so that Data Insight can direct the report output to the specified location. Additionally, you can use the option for adding a new set of credentials if the required credentials are not already added. The credentials must have folder-level read, write, create and delete permissions on the external computer where the report output is copied. - Selecting this option overwrites the earlier report output files. If you clear this check box, Data Insight creates a new folder with a report run ID for every report run, and saves the report in the new folder.
