open cognos reports using url

[daniele2076]

Hello everybody,

i'm trying to open a cognos report using a url (that i extract from a table). I've read "administration and security guide" and i'm using a url like this:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=cognosViewer&ui.object=/content/package[@name='GO Sales (analysis)']/folder[@name='Report Studio Report Samples']/report[@name='2005 Sales Summary']&ui.action=run

it works but it keeps on asking me to authenticate the first time i hit the link.

Has anyone ever have the same behaviour?

thank you,
gm

env.
cognos report 8.4

Try changing http://localhost/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi to http://../cognos.cgi

it doesn't work :(

ie6 doesn't open anything, firefox shows a dns error.
Maybe it works with more recent ie but ie6 it's the standard here!

My bad, instead of http://../cognos.cgi try just ../cognos.cgi

hope it's not a very tight problem, it opens a new window insted of cognos .......any ways the cognos window also opens along with that....from IE6 we can face this problem

You have search path in the Properties copy the path and paste it in the address bar and you can open the report from it.
