Filepicklist functionality in Cognos 8 Reports

[vibhu]

Hi There,

We are currently trying to migrate our Cognos 7.3 reports/cubes to Cognos 8.3. One of the functionalities of Cognos 7.3 Impromptu is the File picklist prompt which allow users to upload the csv/excel/text file values and pass them as a prompt/filter values. I believe that similar functionality is not available in Cognos 8; however we can achieve this by using javascript.

I am just wondering if anyone has developed this file picklist functionality in Cognos 8 using javascript.

Please note that I don't want to use the ODBC connection in framework manager as the files will be different for different users.

Are there any other solutions to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.
