Hello Everyone,

This is a same question ,I had asked earlier.Please help me on the same.

Does cognos have the option of alerting the users by email when a scheduled report fails.Just sending whatever error or any message when the report fails and send the error or message by email

Please help me on the same.

Thanks

Though we have not implemented this ourselves, there is something called 'audit database' that can be installed in a seperate DB from the Cognos content store.
In the sample folder of your C8 installation is a framework specially for this database.

..\webcontent\samples\Models\Audit.cpf

In the KB is a document that describes how to use Event studio on a package created from this framework.

You can fetch error details on reports that have run this way.. (among many other pieces of info)

Hope this helps..
