Problem(Abstract)
When a report run in Cognos Viewer and when report take time, a pop-up appear and we can select "Select a delivery method". At this step we can show 3 options, one of them is "Save Report". When you select "Save Report", nothing appear and you go back to the main portal.
Cause
When you click the "Save option", the report will be transferred to a background report process, executed and it's output saved. The immediate action the user is seeing is being taken back to the portal as the report will run in the background. If you go into the Administration tools, you could see that there is a background execution of the report running. Once it is finished, you should see the saved output icon next to the report in the portal. This may need a refresh on the portal.
One problem with this may happen with prompted reports, where the prompt page buildup takes long enough to get the options popup displayed. If you select save in this situation, I believe nothing is going to happen as the prompts are not yet fulfilled.
