Title: Email Option enabling in Cognos server
Post by: chinnucognos on 15 Jun 2016 10:37:08 AM
Hello Team,

There is requirement that "Email option while scheduling report"  should be enabled, but for some reasons this option has been disabled in Cognos server level for one of Application.
Now it is needed to enable "Email Option in scheduling" in server level and it should be disabled for only particular application.
Can you please help on this request.
Note: Using Cognos 10.2.2 version

Thanks in advance

You mean enabling email option for particular report and disabling for some particular report ? I do not think this is possible.

thanks sunosoft for your response..
Yes, it is needed to disable only to particular set of reports but it should be enabled for all remaining reports in Cognos10.2.2?
Any possibility is there?
Right now, we are using shared file location path to save report while scheduling and from there we are extracting to email the report outputs for the Users.
Any help is appreciated.

Why it is so ? Its a cognos functionality global for all reports. I do not think there is any chance disable it fro some specific reports.

Instead you can create some role/group and secure those reports with them and you can enable email option to only those role/group. So that the users belonging to these role/group can see mail options available and rest user community will not be able to see the email option.
Hope this helps.
