Hello,
I am trying to pass date and sometimes date/time parameters from unix to Cognos. Does anyone know what format this should be in? I'm trying to pass in a simple date and I've tried MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY-Mon-DD, MM/DD/YY, and Mon DD, YYYY. Nothing seems to work! The report works if I run it manually from Cognos. This should be very simple, I know, but I'm stuck and am hoping someone can help. Here's the error I get:
Report search path is: /content/folder[@name='SDK_Testing']/report[@name='mb']
Report failed: common issues are incorrect report/folder names and incorrect authentication.
Report failed: SOAP Error exception message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Thank you in advance! Marybeth :)
