reportView Download from Content Store

[chrisiklauss]

Hello everybody,

we managed to download Reports and store the XML definition locally.

What has to be done to store a Report View locally?


When I execute following code:

BaseClass[] repPth = cmService.query(new SearchPathMultipleObject(fullCognosReportName), props, new Sort[] {},
                   new QueryOptions());


repPth contains a ReportView Object. I can access the name of it, but NOT the content (XML..)?
How is this possible?
Or do I have to store the Report and the parameters of the report and thus store a "ReportView" locally?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hi,

refer to c8\sdk\java\runreport for java, for .net e.g. c8\sdk\vb\execRpt1ParamMV or the KB.
You need to execute the report with the parameter in the specified format and then download them.

please note that there are some extra problems if the reports are bigger than 8MB (may be not anymore) and the xls export is a mess.

Your code is a query what is inside the CS. the next query is cmService.execute...

Hi,

Sorry - you mean a reportview. Thats a little different - the c8connect.getOutput(..) should be enough.
the props must be set to the output as well.
As there can be more than one file in different formats you need to iterate over them or use the last() function.
