Newsbox search 1

[spicysudhi]

Hi,

Is there anyway to search a newsbox/item based on a news item id?

I am looking at .cfx file created by powerplay report publishing. I want to find out the location of the news item in upfront which uses that pertculat report. From the .cfx file i got the news item id (as 17c0_6784328). Now how to find the news item in upfront for that id?

thanks in advance.

regards,
Sudhi

You could try a standard windows search on the ppserver folder for the text string '17c0_6784328'

To find that you need to open the CFX file.

In the cfx file you have 1 entry which is like PrimaryNID="TX,,26fab37d4a4011dba825e915f04db040"

You copy the number 26fab37d4a4011dba825e915f04db040

You replace below with your upfront server name ( maybe the gateway as well) and you replace the number by yours.

http://My_Server_Name/cognos/cgi-bi...</Id><Module name="Base"/></DescribeNewsItem>

(there is no line break or return caractere in the command line)
you copy the new url and paste it in IE.

This will display in browser a XML file, where you can see that you have an entry called Full name .
The full name is containing the full newsbox path including the report name in Upfront.
