Error description

  • After running a report in Cognos Viewer client selects "Email
    Report" in the "Keep this version option"
    
    When client uses the "Select the recipients" option the "Include
    a link to the report option" disappears.
    
    When the client clicks ok to send the report by e-mail all
    recipients do receive the e-mail but without a link to the
    report.
    
    No attachment of the report is included either.
    
    Client has to manually add the e-mail addresses of the
    recipients in order to preserve the option of "Including a link
    to the report"
    
    This means that the client is unable to send to a distribution
    list that has been defined in Cognos.
    
    This error also occurs when the client is attempting to send
    "Output Versions of the report"
    

Local fix

  • Manually enter the e-mail addresses of recipients
