You can think of 2 different solutions:
1. Using a single document specification file:
Use an Iteration element in the template. Pass all 20 user names as comma separated values for the variable. Using split function, store the user names in an array. The iteration will run for every element (user name) in the array. Use a Document Break element so that the output will be saved as a separate file for each user.
2.Use an external variable in the template that takes single username. You will create 20 different document specification files for each users. Suppose you have thse .dsx files in C:\RPEFiles, you can have the following in a .bat file and run the .bat in command prompt.
for %%i in (C:\RPEFiles\*.dsx) Do (
Note: In Launcher, set "Use publish wizard" to "No" (Window -> Preferences -> RPE -> Document Execution) so that publish wizard is not shown while opening the doc spec. Comments
