Title: E-mailing of the report to all the customers....
Post by: kskanth on 12 Jan 2012 03:45:47 AM
Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement here, where I have to email the output of the report to each and every customer about their respective calls made in the previous month.

It is like AT&T sending us the bills every month ending.

So here my question is, Do I have to implement Data Security in FM and Bursting of the report on the corresponding emails in Report Studio for sending the report to each and every customer?

My report output is like

Page1
Name:*****
ID:******
Email id:******
Location:*****

Page2
Mobile to Mobile
S.No    Dest.   Duration   
1.         ***     ****
2.         ***     ****


Page3
International
S.No    Dest.   Duration
1.         ***     ****
2.         ***     ****

Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't need to setup any security for this, bursting alone should take care of it.

Here's a link to the bursting section of the IBM Cognos Information Center:

And perhaps there are license considerations? I think there is a recipient license or some such thing. You might want to verify that your customer base is covered.

The myriad secrets of Cognos licensing are stored in a cave and heavily guarded by Monks at an undisclosed location in Ottawa.

Bursting Reports will solve the issue. just be careful while selecting Burst groups
