I just noticed that when using Microsoft Edge 87.0.664.55 (Official build) (64-bit) version of Microsoft Edge I do not see the option to create or edit an Event. I can see them in Firefox. I'm running Windows 10 and Cognos 11.1.4. Anybody know what's going on or what to do about it? ------------- ...

Yes, that's the route I took. After taking that route, I noticed that Events do not show in the Recent history list view, although jobs, reports, data sets and active reports do. v11.1.r4 Jerome P Roberts IT Specialist Philips Oral Healthcare - Los Angeles jerome.roberts@philips.com ...

Thanks and yes, what you say is true. But that still requires maintaining multiple report distributions. I know you can create a report distribution list, but that requires admin capabilities. Jerome P Roberts IT Specialist Philips Oral Healthcare - Los Angeles jerome.roberts@philips.com ...

Thanks. That may come close, but I don't think that will run exactly on the 1st and 15th, even if the start date was the 1st or 15th. Jerome P Roberts IT Specialist Philips Oral Healthcare - Los Angeles jerome.roberts@philips.com The information contained in this message may be ...

Thanks Chris. I guess I only have 2 options, your trigger solution or an event. It would be nice if within the report scheduling panel you could supply more than 1 date for the month mode. Hint, Hint to designers of Cognos. Jerome P Roberts IT Specialist Philips Oral Healthcare - Los Angeles ...

I guess that would work if the following is true. 1. I create report A. 2. I create a view of report A as A-view. 3. I schedule report A for the 1st 4. I schedule A-view for the 15th. 5. When the 15th comes it runs the underlying report A. 6. If I change report A, A-view reflects the ...
