Title: Change login parameter in link to call the cognos report
Post by: Vish on 09 Aug 2013 01:05:41 AM
Hi,

I am using below link to call the cognos report and its working fine.
http://XXX.XXXX.XXX/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=cognosViewer&ui.action=run&ui.object=%2fcontent%2ffolder%5b%40name%3d%27Sample%20Reports%27%5d%2freport%5b%40name%3d%27Sample%20Report%201.2%27%5d&ui.name=Sample%20Report%201.2&run.outputFormat=&run.prompt=true&CAMUsername=XXXX&CAMPassword=XXXX&CAMName=XXXXX.

I want to change the Parameter name CAMPassword to CAMPD or anything..Will it be possible from Cognos server side..

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Not as far as I am aware. You can read up on the URL interface in the Admin and Security Guide. Look at Appendix H

http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/documentation/docs/en/10.2.1/ug_cra.pdf

Cheers!

MF.

I agree with MFGF... It's hardcoded into the code....

Do you need to make this change due to URL limits? You might want to consider switching to the Cognos Launch method which will send parameters through POST instead of GET.
