Resolution
To request the import of the key, please engage your Implementation Partner or Customer Support under the component LOD-SF-PLT-JOBS. The details below are required for this action:
- The Company ID of the instance;
- Attach the key file in the ticket from security center. See KBA 2296971 - Generating and Importing PGP Keys for more info
Scheduling Reports:
Schedule your reports to be sent to File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Prerequisites
- You need to have user permission to schedule reports. See KBA 2464604 - How to schedule a Table report? – Report Center
- Only Report Center Admins can schedule reports to be sent to FTP. See KBA 2721217 - How to enable FTP schedule for report tables through the Report Center - Analytics
- The PGP key has to be provided by the PLT team prior to the schedule. CS can import multiple public keys from a customer. Those imported public keys will be used to encrypt a file, then ship it to customer. Per standard from PGP, all public keys in there will be used in encryption. In other words, customer can use private key of any one public to decrypt the file.
- Only Report Center Admins can schedule reports to be sent to FTP.

- Go to New Schedule from Action menu.
