Title: Change the from address on the reports sent by email.
Post by: beaconbiz82 on 18 Mar 2010 08:43:33 AM
Hi,

When we send a report by email with scheduling or bursting it picks up the current user email address. Is there a way to change the from address on the emails sent to a unique email address.

Thanks in advance.

Three things to do:

1.) Go to your Cognos Configuration on the server and under "Notificiation..." enter the default from adress in the "Default sender" field.

2.) Go to your Cognos Connection -> Administration -> Delivery Service -> Advanced Properties and enter

alwaysUseDefaultSender / true

3.) Restart delivery service

So it works on C8.4. Don't know how things are going with older versions. But you will find out with search in support area...
