How to schedule a report in Cognos Connection

[srivenu1]

Hi,
There are some reports scheduled to run automatically on every monday. But, some how since May 26, the report is not running. The last run date shows May 26. I looked everything in the properties, everything looks fine. My question is, am i looking at the right place? How do i kick off this schedule again? Please help !

Take a look at the cogserver log at the time the report was supposed to run. If it is in the schedule, the cogserver.log should show what happened at that time and why it didn't run.

My guess is you've changed your password and need to renew your credentials in the Set Preferences area.

Thanks Toddl.

I just came into this job, and I am using the user id and pwd which the previous member was using to schedule/run these reports.

May I know where I can find the cogserver log?


Thanks,
Venu

Try switching it to your own user ID to schedule the reports. Using an expired ID might be the cause if they removed group membership that is needed to pass security.

Where are your scheduling it from? What version of Cognos are you using?

The cogserver.log should be on your cog app server in the logs directory.
