This page explains how to get data from the Cognos EPR Report into CCMDB.accdb and rolled out to collectors.

Process

Tina receives the data in a scheduled, automated email from Chastity every morning as early as possible, usually before 8. The data is then imported into CCMDB.accdb master on Regional server and provided to collectors via regular roll-out and news and backup.

Outlook Rule in Tina's profile to get data to Pagasa

Decision Support Services sends a report to Tina. The report needs to go to Pagasa so we can schedule the automated import on a machine that sits on WRHA network at all times. So, there is an outlook rule "Cognos to Pagasa" in Tina's Outlook profile to forward the email to Pagasa.

Data import instructions

When run on Tin's computer the process will roll out any current changes in the local file; if anything was changed, update log saying it has been rolled out! There should be no instructions required if the scheduled task running LoadCognos.bat works. Follow the trail through that file if troubleshooting is required.
