Problem:
all messages for notification come from - [email protected]
Workaround:
Go to your Cognos-Folder cognos\c8\configuration and open the cogstartup.xml
Locate section
<!-- DefaultSender: Specifies the email address of the sender. -->
<!-- This setting specifies the email address of the ‘sender’ of outgoing messages. Use
a valid email address. -->
<crn:parameter name=“DefaultSender”>
<crn:value xsi:type=“xsd:string”>[email protected]</crn:value>
</crn:parameter>
Change
<crn:parameter name=“DefaultSender”>
to
<crn:parameter name=“defaultSender”>
and enter your choice of Sender in
<crn:value xsi:type=“xsd:string”>[email protected]</crn:value>
Now your emails are sent from this adress.
NOTE:
Every time you press the SAVE button in your Cognos Configuration, This parameter is automatically changed back to the original one…
