Rational Insight output to a URL

If there is a way to have Rational Insight send its output to a location which could be accessible by someone who does not have access to the too??  For example schedule a report to run every hour and send a pdf result to some location like a URL, so that a person can simply direct their browser to that URL anytime they want to see the latest information.

I know RI can send report results to an email automatically, but we don't really want to do that.  Instead, we need to try to have information dynamically pushed out to some place which people can go to and look at anytime they want.

Thanks!

You will have to do some custom work on your end to make that happen.  Cognos will only deliver via email and allow you to save in various formats.  You could save the reports as PDF/Excel and use an FTP client/script to move them to an FTP or other web location at some set interval when you know the reports will be there.  Hope it helps,
