How to generate a Cognos report from a Java PX
I have a requirement to generate a Cognos report from a Java PX and save the report output file to a network drive somewhere. Is this possible? If so, please provide details on how I can achieve this.
Please note that the Cognos server is a different server than the Agile Application Server.
Hello
I don’t use cognos and so not sure if you can invoke the report from a custom process
Assuming you can do it, here is one possible approach
1. Have the Java PX write the parameters that the Cognos report needs to a custom table
2. Write a poller that picks the candidates from the table and generates the report. This process can run in the Cognos server
Hope this helps
