Title: Save Report Output to Network File Location Using URL
Post by: cdallum on 31 Dec 2008 02:55:18 PM
I am able to call Cognos reports remotely by passing URL strings.  However, I've only been able to run and view a report real-time.  I'd like to run a report in the background and save it to a network file location, allowing another application to access the report output file for viewing.  We have also successfully configured Cognos, run a report manually in Cognos Connection and saved the output to a network file location.  If this is possible to do via URL methods, what is the syntax?  Otherwise, is using the standard SDK the only alternative?
