Step 7: Customize the Cognos Analytics email settings on the Cognos Content Manager Server—For self-hosted studies only
Cognos Analytics includes a feature that allows you to send notifications by email with links to reports and attach report output to the emails.
Note: This feature is not available for Oracle-hosted studies.
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.
- Using the Cognos Configuration utility, configure the SMTP mail server.
For more information, see the Cognos Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide.
- Select File > Save.
The Cognos Configuration utility validates the settings and saves the configuration.
- When the validation checks are complete (all items are marked with a green check mark), click Close.
- Click Close, and close the Cognos Configuration utility window.
