Calculate Start Time of Reports from the Audit Package

Troubleshooting


Problem

The Cognos Audit package provides information on a reports execution time in milliseconds and a timestamp that corresponds to the completion time for the report.  The start time of the report is not provided in the Audit package. 
How can the start time for a report be reported on with the Audit package similar to the how the start time of the report can be seen in the reports run history?

Resolving The Problem

 You can calculate the start time for a report based on the [Audit].[Run Reports].[Time stamp] date time and [Audit].[Run Reports].[Execution time] in milliseconds.

Start time can be calculated as follows:
_add_seconds([Audit].[Run Reports].[Time stamp],(([Audit].[Run Reports].[Execution time]/1000)*-1))
