How do I add timestamp to Cognos 11 file written to share folder


I have a file that is written by Cognos 11 to a shared folder. Problem is that each time Cognos writes the file, it uses the exact same file name. Subsequent outputs fail if the file name already exists. So, I need something line a timestamp added to the name to uniquely identify the file.

There are 2 setting2 for email attachments to set up the file name with a timestamp. These are emf.dls.attachment.timestamp.enabled and emf.dls.attachment.timestamp.format. They do not affect a file name that is written to a network folder.

Does anyone know how to do this?


Solution

  • Have you selected "Time stamp" under the delivery options ?
