Application Close after scheduled run - Cognos Impromptu 7.4 1

Dear user community,

I wanted to ask your professional opinion on an automated Cognos Impromptu application close once a scheduled report ran successfully in Cognos Impromptu.

I am aware of options such as defining the application close in a macro, allowing Cognos only to startup once regardless of number of scheduled reports etc...

What I am trying to avoid is that we have about 25 scheduled reports for which the Cognos Impromptu application is launched 25 times.

Your thoughts/feedback/solutions appreciated.
 
Thierry,
Are you running Impromptu as multiple instances?

Try going to the command prompt and type:
C:\Program Files\Cognos\cer5\bin\impadmin.exe /si
to switch to single instance mode (assuming the standard installation pathway for 7.4)

Use /mi for multiple instance.

(As you note, if you use macros to run a report, you can force Impromptu to close afterwards.)

HTH,
lex
