I'm scheduling a report as excel to be sent through email and would like add a timestamp at the end. I've searched around but couldn't find an answer.
Is it all possible ? Any workarounds if not possible out of the box ?
Hi there
This is an enhancement with IBM. If you have a support contract you should log a PMR and ask for this to be escalated.
The only way you are going to get this is external to Cognos.
Schedule the report to save to the local drive - there are a few cognoise forum discussions on this recently
Set up a batch script to rename the file - again there are cognoise forums on this
Then the issue here is how to email.
You could use Telnet, or gbmail or if you have ms exchange you could use the client command software
Cheers
