Title: Can I burst my report with date and time stamp
Post by: sujitgouda on 05 Sep 2014 03:54:32 PM
How is it possible to burst out an Active report with Date appended to the report file name every hour or day ??
This is required, as the user needs to know that he is viewing the latest report.
My business is against using a date in the header inside the report.

Nope. You don't have control of the name used for the output in this way. You could perhaps burst the outputs to the filesystem and have a routine to rename them once written?

I forgot to mention one big thing.

I actually want to burst Active reports, in a manner that every morning a the report refreshes automatically in the My Report section on the Cognos Mobile App.

Is it possible to do so ?
