What web server are you using? Is it IIS 6 or newer? You need to allow the cognos.cgi as application. I'm not quite sure at the moment how it's named correctly in the IIS Admin but there is a tree node in the left hand tree where you can add/remove resources (cgi's and dll's) and allow or block...

Hi Becky, the published packages / models aren't stored within the file system but stored in the Content Store. If you have the SDK available there is a sample how you can extract a model of a published package so you could compare the model files afterward. The sample is here...

If I'm not totally wrong here, you shouldn't mess up with server-side and client-side scripting! JavaScript is client side which is executed in the clients browser after it received the page from the server. But It looks like, that you also use some server side stuff in it (starting with the...

Officially Series 7 (most recent version 7.4MR4) is supported on Win2003 with IIS6 Win2008 with IIS87 might work somehow but is not supported. (source: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3635&uid=swg27016811) So what's the problem, or what's not working? You (or the company you are...

If your company has a license for the Cognos 8 SDK (Software Development Kit) this task could be done automatically. If you have a SDK license or willing to purchase one, we can go into the details. You can use the SDK to query the existing report specifications, modify them and store them...

You cannot use a single Content Store database for different Cognos 8 environments. You can add several dispatcher (Application Tier Components) to one Content Store to build up a distributed environment with multiple nodes. If you want to setup different environments you need separated...

Hi Terry, it looks like you are using the DHTML menu builder of Sothink. Take a look at their FAQ, first section "How can the menu be shown over Input/Select list box, Flash movie, ActiveX Object or Iframe?" (http://www.sothink.com/product/dhtmlmenu/faq.htm) since your gallery is embedded as...

No, this is not possible, modifying the CSS files you can change the way how the content looks like but not change the content itself. But you can create a new blank report, add a text element with the report expression to the report header and save this report as template so you can use this...

Well, you can use the IBM Cognos SDK to develop custom applications. It would take too much time and space to go into details here but there are a lot of Technote documents available on the IBM support site showing samples. There are also samples provided with the SDK component itself. Keep...

Yes, you're right, you have to define one datasource for each XML file/stream. Keep in mind that compared to relational DBMS all calculations have to be done locally on the report server what might require more resources. Also the format of the XML file is restricted to the fix row/column format.

To pass parameter values from one Report Studio report to another you have to use a Report Expression for the source of the hyperlink element instead of a static text. So in the properties of the hyperlink element select as source 'Report Expression' and use something like the following as...

Using your given sample, the paramater name in the report would be 'Product name'. If you want to provide a value for a paramter on a URL, you have to add a leading 'p_' to the paramter name. You should avoid spaces in the parameter names, or at least you should escape them in the URL with %20...

Is the webserver SSL secured? How do you reference the image, with an absolute path or relative?

The package is stored in binary format within the Content Store, so you have no chance to query it. The only way to get those information is using the SDK developing a custom application.

Although I'm sure this is not the answer you want to read, but the best solution would be, if you would normalize the tables in your MySQL DB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization) It is not impossible to do what you want to do with the current scenario, but for me, I never would...

Unfortunately this is only possible using the SDK (Software Development Kit) not out of the box.

7.0 is out of support since Dec 31st 2004 The only supported version of Cognos Series 7 is 7.4

Hi, the issue occurs because you are doing a getElementsByName on the <ul> tag which has no name attribute by spec (<ul> only has the attributes compact and type) and also the name 'name' attribute is no universal attribute like id. That's why IE is ignoring those tags and won't add the needed...

The ClassCastException is a subclass of the RuntimeException Take a look at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/runtime.html I think the most important part to answer your question is: Maybe that helps
