Noticecast & ReportNet Compatibility 1

Hi Brueggers,
NoticeCast was designed to be used with the Series 7 products (Upfront, IWR, CQ, PowerPlay etc). ReportNet was built later, and uses a different architecture. Probably the closest you can get without lots of work is to add your alerts into Upfront, then include your Upfront content in Cognos Connection, but of course this doesn't give you integration between NoticeCast and your ReportNet reports. Out of the box I don't believe NoticeCast and ReportNet will work together directly, but if you have the time and skills, you could look into writing your own interface between the two using the ReportNet SDK and Series 7 CWS.
Probably not what you wanted to hear...

Reportnet has notification functionality and bursting capabilities both built into the product. Cognos enhaced the bursting quite a bit from series 7. Now you can use queries to drive the burst list.
By creating a burst query that contains only items that meet the alert criteria and scheduling the report, you basically recreate the functionality of Noticecast alerting.
For example, if you create a report that shows late orders, then create a burst query that queries for employees with late orders. Schedule it and anyone with late orders will get a report.
If you enable notification and look at the tables created you'll also notice they all start with NC_, sort of like the Series 7 NoticeCast tables, if that tells you anything
