Title: calling a workspace or reprot from another application
Post by: iinquisitivee on 03 Jun 2015 05:20:23 PM
Folks,

I am trying to embed Cognos reprot in another application (I do not have sdk)
I am either able to call the report directly or a workspace in which the reprot is embeded

I like calling teh worksspace better as it gives me options to hide all bars, tabs and any other cognos specific butons...but does not let me hide the content pane (as in screen shot)

so I try calling the reprot but in the report there are no ways to hide any portion perphaps
any thoughts please ?

thanks for your help !

Sorry,
I see the screenshot now.
From the same place where you uncheck the options to hide tabs etc. you should see a content pane option too. If you select that box, the URL provided will not show the content pane, resulting in the user not being able to open it. At the end of the URL, if you see &remUI=banner,sidebar,tabs,globalarea it means you are disabling all that are possible to be hidden. sidebar is the one that will hide your content pane.

Also,
Going the report route, extract the Default Action URL for the report and append the following to the end of the URL,
&cv.header=false&cv.toolbar=false

This should only show you the report objects.

gr8..both work as expected !

from the workbook while doing the share option it does not talk of the sidebar..but adding it manually as per ur suggestion takes care of it.

Good to know, it worked. In the workspace share section, there is no entry for SideBar, but you do have "Content Pane". When you de-select content pane, it adds the sidebar value to the &remUI parameter.
So basically, sidebar corresponds to content pane.
