IBM® Cognos® reports can be scheduled to run at regular intervals. When a report is scheduled, it does not run every time a user accesses a dashboard containing that report. The result is improved performance of dashboards containing the report.
Only IBM® EMM reports that do not contain a user ID parameter can be scheduled in
Cognos®. When a report has no ID parameter, all users see the same data; the data is not filtered based on the user. The following portlets cannot be scheduled.
Scheduling reports is a task that you perform in IBM® Cognos®; consult the
Cognos® documentation to learn more about scheduling in general. For specific scheduling requirements for dashboard portlets, see
Scheduling a dashboard report.
