Title: MHT files upload on the server
Post by: synthetic on 18 May 2016 05:15:53 AM
Hello, I have a question regarding deploying of an existing active reports .mht file on a Cognos Server. Is there any possibility to reverse-engineer the .mht file back to active report on another server (e.c. Cognos Server B) that does not have the active report  source objects? I have received only the .mht file and I need to deploy it on the server for further authoring - the server has exactly the same configuration and data sources as the oryginaƂ one, however it does not have the active report definition/design object.
Thanks, for any suggestions and help.
Best Regards,

Hi,

No, sadly. You'll need the package and the report spec on server B. Easy to do by creating a deployment on server A...
