In Cognos 10.2 "Local Save As"/ "Local Open" is not Featured

Hi,

In Cognos 10.2, the "Local Save As" option is not featured
Is there any alternate way to open/save files Locally.....?
If so
I have 200+ reports which need frequent updates of same text/string in all reports.
(Note: Updation never conflicts with the FM change)
Instead of opening each report and saving to local machine(after updates), Is there any other solution/third party software to fetch all reports and save in local

Please help with any suggestions..

Thanks in advance,
Mahesh

I think you need to perform a few steps in order to use local file access. This was similar in 8, if not the same, as I recall.

You can grab the XML from the tools menu to copy to clip board and then paste into notepad or something to save, but the local save as option is more convenient.

I have no idea if there is a way to grab everything at once and push to local files.

Hi Lynn

Thanks for the reply.  :)

I had tried the same thing in Cognos 10.1.1 it worked fine but for cognos 10.2 it is giving the Error: "Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files"

Please find the Error attachement file.
