How to trigger batch file execution for external report distribution while running a job/schedule?

  • 1.  How to trigger batch file execution for external report distribution while running a job/schedule?

    Posted Fri September 22, 2023 11:56 AM

    Hello,

    We are in the process of migrating from 11.0 to 11.1.7 (In-House). In the previous server, we had batch file at the root level of C drive that would in turn call VB Script for report distribution. Setup was done in Cognos Configuration>Dispatchers & Services>Content Manager Service like this:

    CM.OUTPUTLOCATION - C:Report_Output

    CM.OUTPUTSCRIPT - C:\moveoutput.bat

    while setting up and defining the parameters on the new configuration, the batch file do not get triggered, and all the reports are produced on the Report_Output folder.

    Am I missing something? Any additional configurations that need to be modified?

    Thank You
