Title: Create auto alerts on data change
Post by: therese1 on 05 Nov 2018 07:42:31 PM
Hi I remember we used to use Watch items to create auto alerts on data change to send emails to users.... what is the equivalent in Analytics?

Event Studio, one of the legacy tools, allows to periodically check data item values and send an email.

Otherwise you can use trigger.bat which you find in the Cognos installation folder to start a report schedule. However, an event would be needed in the database or you start the batch file with your ETL load.
