Report Delivery Options

Hi everyone - I read the thread about changing the configuration to allow Cognos from exporting reports to a directory on a file server. Has anyone done this in 10? Please let me know where to do this configuration.

Thanks!

Awesome! Works great =)

Here are the other steps for anyone else who will need them:

Can you set the name when you save the files externally?  In the past the saved outputs always had such a nasty name that it was hard to use it.

It's the same in this version, after setting up the Save to File System - There's a field to specify File Name. However, Cognos adds "-en.us.csv" to my file name depending on format =(

Hi there,

This might help
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21340529

We currently use 8.4 which tends to provide a name as setup by the file location in the Administration.  We then use batch scripts to rename and change the file location via a product called ActiveBatch

Either way its a batch type process outside of Cognos.
Hope this helps
