Cognos SDK with Analytics Dashboards

[Cognos91]

All - we are trying to make use of Cognos SDK with Analytics Dashboards to embed widgets/ charts in a third party application? Has anyone used Cognos SDK to retrieve the objects build in Dashboard within Analytics?

if you find out let us know. I think there are a number of us having problems trying to figure this out. In our admin class, supposedly 2 of the people had front ends for it. I think what they meant is they took the sample and modified it (which I can figure out) but it doesn't tell  us anything about the back ends or the "glass" item and how to do other things to it.

I find that either you create your own or you know how to be a web programmer.

Haven't found a way yet, will try to keep you posted. It does become difficult when you are unable to view the XML/ report spec of the dashboard.

Hi,

My understanding is that Dashboards in Cognos Analytics utilise REST/JSON rather than SOAP/XML the SDK can address. I don't think IBM have released anything that surfaces the REST API currently.

Cheers!
