Could anyone please let me know how to use Email server with Cognos 8 server in order to email reports to the business users? If anybody has used this option, then pls let me know. what changes do i have to make in the Cognos 8 configuration in order to use the email server. Anything in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have only does this for MS Exchange heres how:
1. Open Cognos Configuration
2. Go to Data Access -> Notification
3. Enter values here
- SMTP mail server - e.g exchange:25 (the dns/ip of your exchange server and the port default is 25)
- Account and password - a valid exchange account, this will be used to send mail
- Default sender - email address that emails from cognos will appear to come from
4. Save and close
Good luck
