Auto Refresh a Report in Cognos Connection

[johnmabe]

Hi,

I have a report that needs to be displayed in Cognos Connection via Cognos Viewer and I need for the report to be auto-refreshed every 5 minutes. How can the report be auto-refreshed without having to constantly click on the refresh button?

Also, the report will have a prompt. Is it possible that the user enters the prompt only once to start the day and the report still auto-refreshed based on the original prompt selected?

Thanks

IBM has an article on their support page that details how to do it. here.

In case the link ever goes dead, here's the Javsacript:

<script type="text/javascript">
var intval;
var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == "function" ? getFormWarpRequest() : document.forms["formWarpRequest"]);
if ( !fW || fW == undefined) 
{

      fW = ( formWarpRequest_THIS_ ? formWarpRequest_THIS_ : formWarpRequest_NS_ );

}
var preFix = "";
if (fW.elements["cv.id"])
{

      preFix = fW.elements["cv.id"].value;

}   
var nameSpace = "oCV" + preFix;
if(intval!="")
{

      self.clearInterval(intval);
      intval="";

}
self["RunReportInterval"] = self.setInterval( nameSpace + ".getRV().RunReport()",300000 );
intval = self["RunReportInterval"];
</script>
