  • 1.  Cognos E-mail Settings

    Posted Thu April 16, 2026 07:30 AM

    Last year we upgraded from Cognos 11.2.4 to 12.1.0 and prior to the upgrade there used to be settings in Cognos Configurator under the Notification section where the SMTP e-mail server was set up.  I noticed yesterday that those settings no longer exist with 12.1.0.  If I look within Cognos (Manage > Configuration > SMTP Configuration) all the settings are blank.  E-mail is still working so I'm confused as to whether this is normal or not.  Are the e-mail settings in Cognos 12.1.0 found somewhere else?  Any ideas would be helpful.  Thanks!

    Hi Cliff,

    The settings are now available in the Cognos portal. It is moved during the migration.

    You need to go to Manage / Configuration then SMTP Configuration.

    Best regards,

    Thanks Partrick!  I see them "now"!  I say now because when I looked in Manage / Configuration / SMTP Configuration the other day the settings were blank.  Today they are populated as expected.  Probably gremlins.  Thanks for you help.
