Automatic Email

[bobg4u]

Is there a way to email reports automatically using Cognos Tools?

bob,
you can script the sending of reports via email client. There's some examples in the macro help file or on this tip site.

As per Cognos, the way to email reports automatically to specific users is to use NoticeCast (EP Series 7).

It depends what format you want to send it in. You can take and .imr and save it as another format, for example a .txt (if it small amt of info) and script a bat file to send files to email addresses depending on your email type. Lotus Notes is a good one. I can't give you all the details, I just know it can be done.

Hi CP,
I was saving the report as an XL with Format,and then mailing the Excel file.
I finally could make it to work using a script,which I could write after looking at all the scripts that people earlier posted in this forum.Thanks to all of them,and specially to Dave,who has organized everything as nice FAQ's.
