Saving Reports on Share Drive

[RoMaxx77]

Hello,

our customers wanna have an excel report with specified measures that will be saved on a network drive because he wanna do customer specific calculations.

Is it possible to transfer the reports from Cognos Environment to a specified Network Drive?

If yes, what I have to do?


Thank you very much.

Assuming you're in a PC environment, if on your cognos PC/server, you map the network drive (in Network Places, navigate to the folder/drive you want, right click and choose Map..), then you can refer to that place in an impromptu macro as destination for a ExportExcel with Format command.

Hi,

we do not use Impromptu, we use ReportNet. Can you specify your comment (Macro, Export Excel etc.)?


Thank you.

Apologies; I don't use ReportNet, but would expect the principles of drive mapping to be applicable. You might be obliged to use the full network path if not (\\servername\drive\folder\subfolder)
