Unless your local machine is also the Cognos server, you will need some script to automate a copy of the saved output to your local machine

As an fyi, you can configure Cognos to save to a network drive.

I created a folder on the Cognos server and shared it. Then I created a view of the shared folder on the Cognos Server into a shared directory for the company. I save my scheduled reports to the folder and allow users to access them.

I'm fairly certain though that this can only be achieved in 8.3 or better. Let me know if you'd like details on how to modify Cognos Configuration to allow for this.

hi Birdie,
   is it possible to give the url address for the report generated? if this static report can be access by url, it will improve the performance for reporting system.

Hi- thanks to all for your responses. I was able to figure out and fix the issue. I had 2 pages for my report and they were set into a Page Set. The Page Set was skewing the output intot the directory folder for some reason.

I removed the Page Set and we're good to go!

Thanks again for you responses!!
