Step 9: Customize the Cognos 10 BI email settings on the Cognos Content Manager Server

The Cognos 10 BI Reporting installation includes a feature that you can use to send links to report output notifications using email. Normally, you configure email to point to the Cognos Gateway server. However, if your environment uses an F5 switch that requires a generic URL to access the switch, you must configure the SMTP server to use the correct address.

1. Using the Cognos Configuration utility, configure the SMTP mail server.

   For more information, see the Cognos 10 BI Reporting Quick Start Installation and Configuration Guide.

2. Select File > Save.

   The Cognos Configuration utility validates the settings and saves the configuration.

3. When the validation checks are complete (all items are marked with a green check mark), click Close.
4. Click Close, and close the Cognos Configuration utility window.
