I need to use COGNOS 10 to generate a report that will have about 300 pages. I want each page saved as a separate pdf file. Is there a way to automagically do this or do I need to run the report 300 times manually.
You can try bursting. Assuming that each page breaks on a specific grouping, you could set up a page-set that groups on the grouping you intend to page-break and then have it burst to that same grouping. You should get a PDF file for each of the groups. Therefore, if there are 300 groupings, 300 page-breaks, and 300 burst groupings then the net result will be 300 separate PDF files.
Currently there is no way to do this from within Cognos with a single report. You can only have one output file per individual report run. There shouldn't be a need for separate outputs from a single report, perhaps you can provide your scenario and maybe the community can find alternatives.
The best workaround I can think of would be to make 300 separate reports and run them as a job.

I am creating progress reports around 50 different companies in InDesign. The report is 10 pages long and has approximately 40 images and text fields that need to change based on the company.
I set up a data merge in InDesign and mapped all of the text and image fields. When I execute the data merge the text and images are mapping perfectly but it's creating one large 500 page report (10 pages x 50 companies). I.e. Report for Company A is on pages 1-10, report for Company B is on pages 11-20, and so on.
While I could break this up into individual reports in AcrobatPro, this step seems like it should be unnecessary. How can this be automated, preferably within InDesign? And how would I then be able to save each file based on a field in the merge csv?
I agree with Nicolai, I don't think default data merge option can create split documents.
Maybe you can use the following script to split your documents into the parts

I have a list of 45,000 ids. For every id I need to generate the data for every calendar day which at the end will give me 27mn records. I can do it manually by passing the list of ids in the transformation and running it but I wonder what will be the automated way to do it? Save ids in a xls file/txt file in a batch of 1000 records and get Pentaho to read one file, run the transformation, save the output, open another file, run the transformation, save the output etc etc etc?
I am still fairly new to SSRS, and I do not know what I need to/can provide as examples to help clarify my issue.
I am developing an SSRS report that accesses a NAV database and generates a report for an equipment number. My task is to generate a master report that can print multiple of those kind of reports(currently 10 max). I am using sub-reports to get the content that I need for an equipment number.
I am looking for a way to make this dynamic, where I can generate 1 to n sub-reports based on how many values were picked for the multi-value parameter. The end result should be one PDF file that contains the full report for each equipment number listed. I am trying to only use SSRS.
I have seen where I could hide sub-reports then make them visible if a condition is met, but this isn't the functionality that I am looking to use. So, what would be the best way to dynamically generate sub-reports based on a multi-value parameter?
I figured it out. I made the sub-report parameter equal no value. I made the main report with a parameter that can select multiple equipment numbers, a list, and a data set which filtered down to the appropriate equipment numbers to avoid duplication. I made the sub-report object in the main take in the cell value from the list equipment number. When the list proceeded to the next row, it copied all of the objects in the box area.
I am designing a report that shows product id, description and then quantities and dollar values for 7 different regions plus total quantity and total dollars for each product row) and also sums every column (all the quantities and dollar values). This report gets exported to a .rtf file and then emailed to various people. My current setup has the report being 22-inches wide. In Access, it shows up perfectly in Report View (product id, description, and regions 1-4 quantities and dollars on one page and regions 5-7 plus the total section on the other). When it exports it to a .rtf, it doesn't show the second page (unless you are in draft mode in Word).
I am looking for an easy way or some type of direction to have everything display correctly when exported. I've been playing around with layout, spacing, and page breaks but it either ends up displaying each individual product on separate pages or takes an enormous amount of time to load the formatted page (which doesn't work for my user). I have also tried using a subreport but get the same results as what I was doing with the page breaks.
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated!
I found out that there is a problem when I have something like report package (multiple page report.) What I did with my situation is I spit to one page report. Say Region 1-7, I have 7 reports. And use Loop to run, save, or pint it all. You may end up with 7 rtf file to email.
Other option is using MailMerge. You can do all the report in MS Words instead of in Access report. So you create say, 7-page template for all regions and added MailMerge fields in it. Then run it.
hope this help.
We have a 900+ page report that was created in RS. You can only print 1 page at a time from the report manager. We have tried exporting to pdf, etc but the dollar amounts don't line up properly when it is exported. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this to print correctly?
You have to ensure all the page sizes, breaks, margins, interactive size, etc. are properly setup for the export to work properly. You also should be able to print the whole thing in one go from the report manager in 2005.
Do your other reports print ok?
Do you have conditional filters, hidden contorls, etc?
If you use table and right-align your dollar amount column it should line up properly.
Can you provide more details like what kind of report layout you are using ( which objects you are using to render report. )
