Run a report definition through activity and email the PDF output
Hello All,
I am new to Pega (Using Pega 7.2) and having hard time figuring the below thing.
How to write an activity that runs a report definition ( I used "call Rule-Obj-Report-Definition.pxRetrieveReportData" to run the report") but struggling to convert the output into PDF and email it to users. Also, I tried using "Call Rule-Obj-Report-Definition.pzRDExportWrapper" activity, but it doesn't save the file onto the file location specified. I am unable to use the pdf output generated by pzRDExportWrapper to email.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Sravya ,
You can follow the below steps to achieve your requirement.
1. Create a section keeping Repeating Grid layout by referring Report Definiton as source to the grid.
2. In Activity Call pxCreatePDF to generate PDF by passing above section name as parameter.
3. Then Call SendEmailWithAttachments to send a mail.
