I don't think it is possible. One way is you can create dummy file after completion of job. based on dummy file arrival, Run a batch job to refresh BO.

Yes you can create a dummy file after the completion of the job in a folder.
Then from CMC you can create a scheduled event and link that event to the reports which u want to refresh.
This event will run at the scheduled time and check for the dummy file in the folder, if the file is present then refresh the report.

We tried this option for refreshintg Crystal Reports.
