Hi All,
I have to pass ASP session variables to Cognos reports.These reports will be called from an ASP portal and the variables will be available in the session of a user.The records displayed in the reports will be filtered using these values.

Can anybody plz provide the workaround.

Thanks in Advance :-)

Regards,
dipsy

You have to recode your ASP to provide the session parameters as GET or POST variables when calling Cognos reports.

can this be achieved without authentication through cognos connection? if not, can you actually post variables using your userid and password for cognos connection without SDK?

Yes, but only using SOAP. Actually, you can post your uid/pwd to the login page and with clever redirect processing youmight be able to avoid using SOAP.
