We’re using LSEG/Refinitiv DACS 7.5.x and are trying to fully automate the delivery of usage/audit reporting.
What we want
- Automated delivery of DACS reports via email (i.e., schedule a report and have DACS send the generated CSV/XML directly to a mailbox).
- API retrieval of the same “full reports” that DACS generates in the UI, e.g.:
- Permission Reports
- Audit Trail by Exchange
- (and similar “report output” files)
What we’ve tried / found
- In the DACS 7.5.x Web Services Programmer’s Guide, I couldn’t find a suitable GET method that triggers generation + download of those full UI reports.
- In 2024 it was suggested to use:
getDacsRawUsageContentsgetDacsRawUsageContentsByFile
However, these do not meet our requirements because they don’t appear to return the fully formatted report outputs (as generated by DACS “Reports” UI), only usage file contents.
What we’ve already heard (but hoping changed)
From an earlier vendor support case, we were told:
- there is no feature to forward scheduled reports straight to client email
- and the WS methods above are for usage file contents, not report generation/download.
Questions
- Has anything changed in DACS 7.5.x (or later) regarding:
- emailing scheduled reports directly from DACS?
- Is there any supported API endpoint to:
- trigger generation of Permission Reports / Audit Trail by Exchange (etc.)
- and download the resulting report files (CSV/XML) programmatically?
- If not, what’s the recommended automation approach today?
- e.g., “schedule in UI → scrape/download from report status → deliver via workflow”?
Any guidance, documentation pointers, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
