How to generate your eReports folder on Austin Disk

Note: This only pertains to users who are generating reports (documents) from within a Mainframe application such as DEFINE

Steps: From within a Mainframe application:

  1. Generate a document (Report, Voucher, etc.). This will auto-generate the eReports creation process. Folder creation should be complete within 2-3 minutes form document submission.
  2.  "Access Permission" will be automatically set on your eReports folder at the top of the hour following initial document submission. Please Note that this only pertains to the initial ducment.
  3.  At one minute past the top of the hour, your eReports folder should be live and ready for you to access
  4. Access Path:   https://webdav.austin.utexas.edu/eReports/youreid

Working Remotely and routing Mainframe Output to the Green Output Service

The office of accounting has provided information on handling documents while working remotely. ITS took that information and added screen shots. Please follow the link below to view. Note: if working with the following documents; VP1, VP2, VP3, VpE, VP7, VP9, VPT, VE3, VT6, VJ3, and VJ5 Green Output Activation is not required. Just remember to select the option "Mark here to send copy of the document to Green Output" within the document -(follow the link below and select "Payment Document Cover Sheet to PDF to see detailed instructions.

Routing Mainframe Output while working remotely


When your output is sent to Green Output, it will be placed in an eReports folder on Austin Disk within a sub-folder named with your EID. It will have a 1GB quota. Once your GO access has been activated,your eReports folder will be auto-generated when you submit your next Mainframe report. Green Output is available at no cost to individuals who need batch reports from the Mainframe or Web. In fact, using Green Output will reduce your paper printing costs. 

  Account Set Up for Green Output - Mainframe

Due to service updates, Green Output is now "Activated" by default when a USER ID is created. You can check/verify that GO has been activated for your USER ID by doing the following from within DPUSER on the Mainframe:

  1. Input UP in the Command line
  2. Input your Mainframe USER ID in the USER ID/Dept field (your USER ID is displayed at the top of your COM-PASS screen)
  3. Press Enter to view your "User Profile"
  4. If you see the letter W as seen in the image below, GO is active for your ID

If GO is not currently "Active" for your ID, you can request that it be "Activated" by filling our and submitting this form. You will receive an email notification from ITS once your GO access has been activated.

  You can also contact the UT Service Desk at 475-9400 (Hours)

Note: The folder will be created with your initial Green Output request, it may take up to an hour for the permissions to be applied allowing the EID holder to access the folder.

Non-Mainframe Documentation & Green Output

Green Output can be used with non-mainframe report data as well. To establish your eReports folder, submit an initial report to begin the creation process. Wait until one minute after the top of the hour after submitting the initial report before attempting to access your eReports folder. That wait time is required to allow the setting of the one-time access permissions on the folder.
