hi gurus,
iam new to cognos. can any one tell me
'with what extension does a report is saved in report studio?'
Thanks in advance.
Reports are saved in the Content Store database. If you want to save the report physically, you can export the Report Specifications into XML file.
What is saved as XML as described before is the specification of the report.
If the question goes into the direction "save report outputs / save the data" the answer would be:
1.) You can save report output version in various supported formats (html, pdf, xls...) as a "report output version" within your cognos system. The informations are stored within your content store database. There is no supported way to access this report outputs from outside your cognos system (apart from open them in Cognos and hit the "Save as"-Button).
2.) You can save report outputs directly (!) to a defined directory in your file system (how to prepare for this, get the corresponding manuals at your cognos support homepage). HTML-Reportoutputs are saved as .mht-Files, PDF as .pdf, XLS as... i actually don't know exactly. But i think .xls files.
