Title: Emailing a report from the report
Post by: ahg on 27 Jul 2012 09:10:47 AM
Hi,

I need to be able to email a report. However, it needs to be done without using the Cognos Schedule. In an ideal world there would be a button on the report itself that on click would send the report in the body of an email to an email address that would be obtained with SQL.

Another option would be to have a button on a website (coded using Java, javascript and html) that on click would do the same thing (passing parameters for the report via URL).

Are either of these at all possible?

Thank you for any help at all.

There is an option to email a report from Cognos Viewer. Click on the "Keep this Version" link and select the Email option. Maybe this will suit your requirement?

Unfortunately not, needs to be all automated. Thank you though!
