Burst Report Query

[aji136]

Hi,

I have a report with burst option set to deliver the output as an email. The issue I am having is with the name of the attached file in the email. Cognos currently defaults this to the report name.

Is there a way to have the filename as per the report grouping i.e., if I am bursting the report by region (reporting group),the filename generated in the email should be one of the available values Eastern, Western, Northern or Southern. Not sure if this involves using the SDK. Appreciate if anyone can throw more light on this...

Cheers,
aji136

Someone asked a similar question recently, you may want to search for it...
My reply was that it may not be possible even with the SDK but a workaround is an HTML cover page (assuming you're not already sending out HTML) which could include the Region info and would be visible in the body of the email without opening the attachment (not quite what you want but a next-best approach).

I think someone suggested using Event Studio, which allowed for a dynamic email subject.

Thanks almeids for your inputs. But for my requirement this will not help as each of these report is going to separate set of email ids. So having a cover page I guess would not be a good option.

Will wait for more inputs on this before I give up. >:(
