Title: Cognos drill thru/image URL
Post by: vvasireddy9 on 09 Apr 2014 10:20:41 AM
I have a report with drill through and pictures from cognos content. It has picture URLs like (http://cognosdev1.com/cognos10_2/samples/images)

When the report is moved to QA, then prod, these drill thru location and image URLs won't work right? How can these scenarios be handled?

PLease advise.

Hi,

A good technique for this is to replace the absolute URLs (eg the one you included above) with relative URLs - eg ../samples/images/

Cheers!

Thanks for the repliy. I am using drill thru to the same report. So, does the folder structure of this report in production need to be in sync with folder structure in dev for the report drill thru to work?
