Title: Run report for all prompt values
Post by: cognos_guru on 14 Feb 2011 11:05:56 AM
Hi,

I know I have done this before, but I am blanking.  How do I run a report so that it creates separate output for all values in the prompt without actually sending any emails to anyone.  Essentially bursting without the email part. 

Thanks!

Do you mean you want to burst report to a file location?

I want to basically run the report for all possible prompt values and save to Cognos Connection without having to define report views for each prompt value and execute all of the views.

I think this is still technically bursting...

I think, once you should create report views for all possible combinations of you prompt fields. Then create a JOB including all these report views with the parameters selected and schedule it.

Thanks

I'm trying to avoid that since there are A LOT of prompt values that I would have to manually create views for...
