SDK: unable to retrieve report property: Location

[zrolf]

Dear All,

by the SDK(java) I am listing out all reports that we have along with some main properties such as searchpath, name, status, owner, screentip, description, policies, permissions, .. which can all be found pretty quick.

Alone report location, easy to spot via CognosConnection, no multi language attribute, I don't seem to be able to retrieve via the SDK !

Neiter am I seeing any post or google hit which could cover it ..  any help much appreciated, I am loosing too much time on this and am wondering whether it is constructed from searchpath and is no persistant property ?

Also tried to seach location via SQL and ContentStore .. not much luck either (as anticipated really whenever trying to get something useful out of the CS directly)

Thanks !


      PropEnum props[] = new PropEnum[] { PropEnum.searchPath,
            PropEnum.defaultName, PropEnum.disabled, PropEnum.creationTime,
            PropEnum.modificationTime, PropEnum.owner, PropEnum.version,
            PropEnum.dataSourceName, PropEnum.contentType,
            PropEnum.metadataModelPackage, PropEnum.metadataModel,
            PropEnum.packageBase, PropEnum.permissions, PropEnum.policies,
            PropEnum.metadata, PropEnum.format, PropEnum.screenTip,
            PropEnum.description, PropEnum.dataSize,
            PropEnum.objectClass, PropEnum.location

Hi All,

realizing that there is quite a high number of viewers but not many replies to the various posts ..

NB: I have tried casting to the usual classes: baseClass, uiClass, baseReport, authoredReport ..  although there is a location on class PropEnum, I am not finding its getter() !

Still very much appreciating any comments !

thanks

Take a look at the ancestors. this array can you use to construct the location..

cool - thanks !

Simply add: PropEnum.ancestors
...

bc.getAncestors()
..
String location = "";
for (int i = 0; i < anArray.getValue().length; i++) {
   location = anArray.getValue().getSearchPath().toString();
}


Just wondering what the intention of "PropEnum.location" then was ?

thanks !!
