Title: Help with Active Reports - MHT file
Post by: ab.kash on 28 Jul 2016 11:00:16 AM
Hi All,

I have been tasked with designing some reports/dashboards. I am doing this as Active reports. I have found some example of Active reports as MHT files and I can view them in web browser.

Is there a way to import the MHT file into Cognos to see the building blocks behind it or if I have the code for an MHT file how can I import that and use it for my purpose and make any modification, as required.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

No - you can't import a rendered MHT file. You need the report spec to see how it is written. Have you looked at the samples download page here?

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/data/sw-library/cognos/mobile/All/index.html

You can grab the MHT, report spec and screenshots of each report. To use a report spec, use the "Open report from clipboard" option in Report Studio
