Title: Email saved output of a report without running
Post by: cognos_guru on 15 Nov 2011 01:43:29 PM
Hi all,

Is it possible to have Cognos email saved output of the report from the content store without running the report?  I have a series of reports that take a while to execute and I'd like to do it in advance and then email the result sets after I've had a chance to review them. 

Your feedback is appreciated!

If you save the report as a version and open that, it does not re-run and you can email it when you view it. You could also have the report save to the filesystem and email the saved file.

Hello,

I'm trying to have Cognos do the emailing using a scheduled report or agent to email saved output of a report.  I do not want to have to login, view the report, and email it manually.  Nor do I want to save onto the network and email. 

Any other thoughts?
