So after searching through multiple sites and posts, I've determined there is no way to get rid of the XML descriptor file that Cognos creates when saving to a local file system WITHOUT the use of a modified/new batch file.
I'm not familiar with writing .bat files, does anyone have an example that I can use to delete the XML descriptor file?
Also, is there anyway (outside of the .bat file) to prevent Cognos from creating a new folder in the saved location when a report is generated? I have the location defined but new reports are created in a folder within the folder.
Thoughts?? Thanks!
