I have several ReportNet reports out on the Cognos Connection. Recently, we went through clean house and changed the namespace(s) in our Framework Model(s). Well, all the reports broke.
Is there a way to makethe existing report(s) that were created with an old namespace (Example: Namespace "A") use the new namespace (Example: Namespace "B").
Old design: [NameSpaceA].[old_query_subject].[same_query_item]
New design: [NameSpaceB].[new_query_subject].[same_query_item]
Thank You.
Hi cognoid1,
Have dealt with this problem before...the way we got around it was to:
- open each report
- re-model report using new package namespace
- validate report (expect some errors)
- fix any errors in the report with items in the new namespace
Alternative methods to fix this could also include:
- using the SDK to "batch update" all namespace properties in chosen reports to the new namespace
- copying report to XML and performing a "Find & Replace" operation in a text editor (Find [NameSpaceA] and Replace with [NameSpaceB], then open the report from the modified XML and validate it
HTH
