Title: My folder query
Post by: sravantig on 24 Feb 2012 02:03:44 PM
I'm a newbie... please help.

I created few test reports in 'My folder'.
My cognos connection url path looks like this
http://abcd/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=xts.run&m=portal/welcome/welcome.xts

What is the path where my reports are saved on server abcd?

If you go into the properties of each report (using the properties button) you will find a link which will display the URL of the report. Bear in mind that the report is stored in the content store database, not as a file on the file system of the server, so there will be no file system path for it.

Thank you for your reply.
Are the packages stored as files? or anything else related to cognos? if I want to share a report with my another colleague, do I need to share the URL? or is there another way?

Packages are stored as XML in the content store database.

When you say "share a report", do you mean allow others to run it? See a saved output version?
