To use this functionality, you must have the required permissions for the Scheduling secured function in IBM Cognos Administration.
To schedule an entry, you need the permissions that are required to run the entry. For example, to schedule a report or report view, you must have read, write, execute, and traverse permissions for it. To schedule a child report view, you must have execute permissions on the parent report. You also require the following access permissions for any data sources used by the report:
dataSource - Execute and Traverse
dataSourceConnection - Execute and Traverse
With only Execute access, you are prompted to log on to the database.
dataSourceSignon - Execute
If you want, you can change the current schedule owner by changing the credentials for a scheduled entry. For more information, see Example - Change the Credentials for a Schedule.

Under Daily frequency, select how often you want the schedule to run each day. You can choose to schedule an entry either by the minute or by the hour.
When you specify a daily frequency, you also have the option to select a time period when you want the entry to run during the day, for example, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. This way, you can restrict the running of entries to periods during the day when updates are required.
