Title: Is it possible to burst and email TM1 report using Cognos BI 10.2.2?
Post by: jasnayvarughese on 15 Feb 2016 02:56:06 AM
Hello All,

I am a TM1 developer but I am quite new to Cognos BI space.

I am using TM1 10.2.2 FP4 and BI 10.2.2

One of my clients want to burst a TM1 Excel report and distribute it via email to all his users.

He does not want to recreate TM1 Excel report in Report Studio but burst and distribute the report which is already created in TM1.

Is it possible to burst and email TM1 report(created by using TM1) using Cognos BI 10.2.2?

Thanks!

Hi,

Nope - reports authored as TM1 cube views / Perspectives reports etc do not support bursting. IBM Cognos BI supports bursting, but you'd need to author the report in Report Studio to be able to use that facility. It's entirely feasible to build a report using Report Studio that bursts data from TM1, but the report has to be built in Cognos.

Cheers!

MF.

Hello MF,

Thanks for your response.

I had my doubts whether it was possible. I just needed an experienced BI developer to confirm it.

Your help is much appreciated!

Cheers.
