When an email node is attached to a jobstream and the jobstream is published and executed the email sent to the recipients is sent from the email account of the person whom published the data movement task.

Is there a way to alter the sender of the email.

Please Help

Cheers

Hi,

If you are not using IBM Cognos 8, emails are sent using MAPI. However, if IBM Cognos 8 is being used, you can specify that emails are sent using the C8 delivery service. You do this by declaring the DM_EMAIL_VIA_SERVICE environment variable.

You can set DM_EMAIL_VIA_SERVICE=1 in the ds.ini file (located in COGNOS_ROOT\datamanager )

Then all you need to do is to plug in whatever user credentials are necessary to log in to IBM Cognos 8 from within the Data Manager UI.

Cheers!

Meep!
