Setting up the mail server is so easy. Find out from your Network Administrator about the SMTP connection and port number. Usually, it is 25 or 2525, depending on the security issues of the company. Once you find that out, it is all simple.
1. Open the Cognos Configuration
2. Click on ‘Notification’.
3. SMTP mail server: mail.urcompanyname.com:2525
4. Account and password --- leave it default or your company security password
5. Default Sender --- you@yourcompany.com
You will have to restart the Cognos Configuration, once the mail server check runs during the restart; it should send you an email to the specified email address in the ‘Default Sender’.
So, once this is done. When we run the report, we do have a default option ‘Send by Email’ for all the report output in 8.3. Every time we run a report, we can attach the report output to the email or just send a link (which will be HTML by default, works more like a report view.)
