hi all,
i've scheduled one of my reports to be saved as XML, and it does so, but the way the XML is constructed is not exactly what i need.
is there a way to define a XML template for report output? or some way of getting the XML to look from something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <dataset xmlns="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/xmldata/1/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
- <!--
<dataset

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xs:schemaLocation="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/xmldata/1/ xmldata.xsd"
>
-->
