i have a cognos report that consists of 3 pages , each page has different information coming from a different query . i dont have a what you call a master query that joins the data for all 3 pages .
the 3 pages have a common field that is email . i need to set up bursting such that each email in each page , receives the information that is on that page related to that email .
i ran into a problem where i can only set up one bursting group query . while i have 3 .
is there any option that i can use that doesnt require me to make a summary query of all 3 ?
You'll have to implement page sets creating a master-detail relationship so that each page is sliced per email. This can be done outside of burst and can be easily validated using the page down. You should see email1 P1, email1 P2, email1, P3 then email2 P1, email2 P2 ....
Once that is in place. You can tie your burst query to the pageSet, which should give you what you are looking for.
