I have set up some cognos report to run on a schedule and save as a pdf file to a folder on the server. The problem is that this only seems to work for the initial run. All subsequent runs of the report only render the xml files...not a &nbsp;pdf document...even though I have renamed and moved the original pdf document out of that folder. Is there something I need to do to allow the same report to run multiple times?

Saving Cognos Reports to file

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.
