Saving burst reports to content store / Cognos Connection

[cwillard]

I have a progress report that is run by community.  When the uses runs the report they are prompted to select a community and they receive a report for that community.  The report is generated as a PDF, to make it printer friendly, and takes up to 30 seconds to process.  I am looking to pre-run the reports so the PDF version for each community is saved in the Cognos Connection page.  This would allow us to provide the link to that report and have it open in a second or two.  I have been able to burst the report as files to a separate directory on the server. How can I do the same thing but with it saving the PDFs with in Cognos?

Hi

Did you try to run and save the reports and the users should be able to see the reports that they are entitled to?

Try to run and email the reports to different communities and for this you need a burst table with community column and the email address column it can be a excel file which can be used via external data wizard.

Another option is to, you receive all the reports and then save it in their folders using outlook macros and excel macros.

Good luck,

Bursting on CAMID will save all outputs to the Cognos location where the report is saved. Each output is secured against the CAMID that you burst on. When a user views the report outputs in this location, they will only see those burst outputs that match their CAMID.

You will need to provide the CAMID of a user, group, role or distribution list.

Here's a detailed article on the different types of bursting:

I don't know your full details of your requirements, but if users have access to all communities, you may want to consider report views as well.
