Title: Problem Converting Query to Report
Post by: bi4u2 on 09 May 2012 12:56:51 PM
We are running 8.4.1 and had a query studio report that we needed to turn into a report studio report. I went into 'More - Open in Report Studio'. Once I had it open in Report Studio I did a file/save as and gave it a name and closed it. The report remains a query. It is baffling to me, has anyone ever seen that. Do I need to first open up Report Studio and THEN open the query rather than 'Open with Report Studio'?

'Open the query' ?  That makes little sense. do you mean that the query itself is saved but the layout is gone?

Correct. I had the query studio report saved in report studio and gave it a new name. When I go back to Cognos Connection, the new report is still a query studio report not a report studio report.

Did you save it as a different name from within Report Studio? If you do file/save, it should overwrite the original Query Studio entry and then only allow it to be opened in Report Studio. If you do file/save as, you can keep the original version as a Query Studio object and have another copy that you edit with Report Studio.
