Hi Sandeep,
I was having the same issues in that the publish menu option does not show from sharing nor does unpublish option show. However, found a clue in some postings:
*Note: The "is_published" boolean column is just an informational column used for display on the list of reports page. The "roles" column is the one that controls which report is published and which is not.
When you unpublish a report (either by clicking on the unpublish button on the report designer or removing the "public" role) a business role kicks in and changes the “is_published” boolean value.
The business rule: Report roles updated - is_publish field contains the essence of the answer:
if (roles !== null) {
//check if we have the role public
var n = roles.indexOf('public');
if (n != -1)
isPublished = true;
}
And there is a display business rule "Published Report" that displays the public url popup when checking for the "public" role in the list of roles for the report.
So based on this, the approach to publish is to share with everyone and include the 'public' role in the listing of roles that are applicable in the share.
HTH
