Report ALERT...

Alerts in COGNOS

Is there any way we can setup trigger to some kind of alert in COGNOS report on Operational Basis

example:

when we ran a report, we do validate all data do find wheather data are correct or not.
but
Is there anyway to set alert if report generate wrong data.....rather going to check one by one




please share sone ideas....

The big question is how can you programmatically determine whether your data is right or wrong.  If you can come up with some sort of expression to define this, you can set it up in an Event Studio agent to drive alerts.

If the report needs to be validated every time it runs means it is a highly unreliable reporting environment.

You should probably fix your source (model/cube etc) for this rather than taking this approach.

Hi Pooja,

You haven't answered my question.  Do you have any way of programmatically checking whether your data is right or wrong?  If so, use an Event Studio agent with this as the driving condition.  If not, how can you expect Cognos 8 to make this determination?
