How to burst report to directories in cognos

Hi Guys,

I have done a lot of report bursting using diff techniques but never tried this.

This document describes how to burst a report to directory entries (like Roles, Groups, Contacts or Distribution lists).

Below are the steps i got from IBM site

1. Create a distribution list in Cognos Connection and add recipients.
2. Get the CAMID from the search path of the distribution list.

Instead of createing a distribution list if you already have a group or role just take that get its CAMID and put in data item.The report will burst for all users in that grop.

1. In the report's query add a data item with the CAMID in single quotes in it.
2. Group the column that will be used as a burst group in the burst option for the report.
3. Setup the burst option and make sure the burst recipient type is set to directory entries.
