The smart-alec answer is that you take a sharp pin, and jab it firmly pointed-end first into the report. :)

The more useful answer is in Chapter 16 below:

You haven't specified what the destination is you are referring to? Assuming you mean email, then it's SEP as far as Cognos is concerned. SEP stands for Someone Else's Problem :) Cognos has no visibility of whether an email server successfully delivers emails that have been sent to it - but presumably the email server will keep some sort of log. This is likely where the answer lies.

Cheers!

One possible option for tracking what went where, is to create an email distribution list that you can BCC on your bursted emails.  That way you can see what did, and didn't get sent out.
