Cognos 8 -- scheduled entries

You can view entries of a specified status, such as pending, running, or failed. You can then permanently cancel entries that are running or pending, or delay the running of a pending report.  This can be useful when several reports are pending, but you need a specific entry to run immediately.  You can then cancel or suspend entries that are scheduled to run first.  You must have read, write, and traverse permissions for an entry to modify or cancel its schedule.  Traverse permission is used to access the status information from the entry or job history.
