Hi there!

Which version of Cognos are you using? In case you are using <11.0.4: run the report with limited interactivity (report properties, "Run with full interactivity"), which prohibits the Javascript code from running. In case you are using >=11.0.4 you can still use the same approach or (which would be the better one) use the new "Custom Control" object to insert Javascript in your report.

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ca_new.doc/c_ca_nf_11_0_x.html

The 2nd URL is working because calling a report in Cognos Analytics with a parameterized URL will force it to use its compatibility mode and fall back to 10.2.2 (at least featurewise).


Hope this helps.

Chris

Edit: It is a little bit more complicated, here you can find an example: https://cognos11.wordpress.com/2016/10/27/javascript-hello-world/ . Your code is not supported with the "new" approach but should still work with limited interactivity and inside the html item.

Wow !!!

this new Module is too different and difficult, i have no idea how i can "call" the new report after 15 seconds, like i use actually, example.


self["RunReportInterval"] = self.setInterval(function() {window.open("<URL COGNOS>)&ui.action=run&cv.header=false&cv.toolbar=false","_self");},'15000' );

You are welcome! Basically you have a 2nd report which you want to open in a new window after 15 seconds?
