Create folders by username session id

summer7 — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 22:13:26 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to create a user folder under a shared folder directory that will have the name of the person (with them being the owner that sub-folder) when they run a stored process in Web Report Studio. I've played around with several ideals but nothing firm. Is there any way to do this?

You could write some code in the stored process that creates the folder via the metadata API.

Paul has posted examples on how to create metadata pro grammatically here.

But this is a sledge hammer, any chance of what you need the nut to do in a bit more detail?
