Hi,

What kathirsivan said is correct, I just want to give some breif idea about Drillthrough definition.

1. You will have to define a Drillthrough definition in your cognos connection to use it any any [RS, QS, AS] of the studio's.
2. To create a Drillthrough Definition you should have a Target report first.
3. Then you will come to Cognos Connection and click on Drill through definition and Select a package
4. Then Click on "New Drillthrough Definition" icon and specify a unique name for that.
5. Then say next and Set the Scope of you definition
[Note: Scope is to restrict the link up to a perticular level like Package, Query Subject or Data Item]
6. Then Link the target report and pass the parameter values.
7. Finish it and go to your Analysis Studio and click on a perticular column for which you set the drillthrough definition
8. Then if you see in "Go to" Links you will see your target report
9. As soon as you click on that link, the target report will run and give you the output just like your Report Studio Drillthrough.

Hope I didnt confuse you.

Thanks,
Gollapudi.
