Scheduling SOX Controls Reporting

Deltek has provided predefined jobs so that you can schedule your Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) control reports to run in batch mode.

These jobs, defined in the SOX Controls Reporting.zip file, will run the reports and save the output in the PDF file format. Also available is a batch program, which renames these PDF files so that the run date/time of each report is appended to its file name.

This document will help you to configure the output location, batch file, and Cognos server, to execute these jobs, and to run the renaming script.

The following are the steps in configuring your SOX reports:

  • Step 1: Import the deployment zip file.
  • Step 2: Customize the rename program and set the output location.
  • Step 3: Configure the Cognos Analytics server to save the report output and call the batch file.
  • Step 4: Execute the predefined jobs to run the reports in batch mode.
