How to create a job to run and save queries used for prompts in a Cognos report

How To


Summary

A report with a prompt page contains several value prompts that require queries to be run to populate the prompts. This can cause the prompt page to take time to load. There is a process to run the prompt queries and 'save' them using a job. Once the job is successful, the prompt values are saved and the report does not take as long to render the prompt page. You can schedule the job to refresh the data for the prompt queries at any interval you would like.
