Hello,
Today, I will be writing about scheduled reports - removing from section on Business Objects 4.1.
First of all, logon to your Business Objects server, and stop Tomcat on Central Configuration Manager
When you stop Tomcat, users will not be able to connect web services. (BI, CMC etc)
Create a copy of BILaunchpad.properties file, which is located in
Original file will not be changed. We will be working on the copy of the file.
Open the file in notepad and find the line below :
# Shared Destination From Field. Enables or Disables the From field when scheduling a object to a destination. When the value is set to false the From field will not be rendered and the system will first attempt to get the email value from the report default, if report default is not available it will attempt to get the value from the email address on user profile of the logged on user and lastly if the user profile email address in not available it will use the job server default SMTPFrom=true

You can manage the default from e-mail address through CMC - Adaptive Job Server.
With this configuration, users will receive the scheduled reports from a single e-mail address.

When you finish your work on BILaunchPad.properties, copy the file to
To make your changes stable, also copy BILaunchPad.properties file to
If you don't copy the file under warfiles, your changes will be lost after a SP - FP upgrade, and the system will be back to default settings.
When you are done with BILaunchPad.properties file run Wdeploy.
I prefer to delete Catalina folder and restart Tomcat. You can find Catalina folder under
Catalina folder will be recreated, and it may take sometime. Usually, folder size is near 1,35 GB. It depends on the system components. For example, if you install SAP Explorer on your system, the file size will be increased.
Please reach me from my e-mail address if you have any questions.
