don't put the environment in the URL.  Cognos knows enough to just open the URL and when you move to a different environment you won't have to change it every time. 

Your URL should start like this: 

../cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?

Thanks tkjenkin for ur response...

I forget to mention that i have used it in javascript..
(Used javascript to open report in new tab with DROPDOWN functionality of report names in main report) and now even if i declared in javascript 
is still Cognos knows how to process this request?

Below is script used...

[
<script>
    function displayInNewWindow(val) {
        if (val != "") {
            window.open(val);
        }
    }
</script>
</head>

<body>
<select onChange="displayInNewWindow(this.value);">

    <option value="" selected>ALL REPORTS</option>
    <option value="http://jsidvwspscogw01:80/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=cognosViewer&ui.action=run&ui.object=##########">REPORT1</option>
    <option value="http://jsidvwspscogw01:80/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=cognosViewer&ui.action=run&ui.object=#########">REPORT2</option>
]
Deal with it!

We also have some JavaScript and we still use this path.  Here is a snippet of our code. 

var applecapreportsLink ="..//cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?b_action=cognosViewer&ui.action=run&ui.object=%2fcontent%2ffolder
