Sending Email

How to send auto Emails..say at the begining of a planning period as a reminder that they have to input the planning data. Is there a macro for that?

Look around Event Studio of Cognos 8 BI pack.

You can also set a rule in Outlook

CEP does not have any scheduling functionality.

Your best bet is to manually click on the email all link in the admin console or alternatlively you could use a scheduled vbscript or cognos scritpt to extract all the email addresses associated with the application and form Accman and send an email to them.
Bit clunky really, but it does work. Might be better just to go for an Outlook type solution.

Thanks

trying looking up this program call blat.exe.  I currently have my production environment setup such that users get automated email on commencement and completion of scheduled jobs. As administrator i get an sms when the task is complete.
