I'm trying to create an automated build process for our Cognos package. It deploys a model from a framework manager project, and reads the XML for reports from files, and imports them into a cognos instance.
The XML files for the reports was created via the 'Copy to Clipboard' functionality in report studio, and pasted into files.
My question is, how can I get a similar representation for a Dashboard object? The Business Insight dashboard application doesn't seem to have a similar 'Copy to Clipboard' option. The SDK does have a class for dashboards, but it doesn't seem to expose anything equivalent to the Specification of a report. Is there any way to get a XML, or any other textual representation, describing a Dashboard?
Thanks,
rob
I too also have same doubt. Can some one please explain what format Dashboard is saving in Content store..we know Report spec format is XML.
Pretty sure it's still XML, but let me see if I can find any docs/posts on the matter.
