We want to start up a process flow via a single job on the database
in the evening hours.  
So that in the morning the reports are ready for use.
Is this possible to realise in Thinkwise, and if so, in what way?

Hi,

SQL jobs cannot start Process flows as these flows are executed/handled by Indicium or the Windows/Web GUI. You could execute the procedures and code the process flow executes in the correct order.

We do recommend using Indicium (Universal) and using System flows instead of SQL jobs to run Process flows. More on it here: Process flows · Thinkwise Docs (thinkwisesoftware.com)

I have created a topic at the ThinkStore that looks like what you would like to have, see: Autonomously generate report and send it by e-mail | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com)
