Title: Interactive Drill Through with three Cognos viewers
Post by: Fariha Tariq on 04 Feb 2009 01:58:24 AM
HI,

Please help me with the following problem.
I need to have three Cognos viewers displaying respective Drill Through Reports. When I click on the First Drill Through Report in the First Cognos Viewer, the 2nd Drill Through Report should appear in the 2nd Cognos viewer. When I click on the 2nd Drill Through Report, the 3rd Drill Through report should appear on the 3rd Cognos Viewer.

Please advice how this can be managed in one page dashboard in Cognos connection. It works fine with two Cognos viewers having drill though Reports.

Hi

You will have to use 2 separate channels for sending and receiving information using 'Report Properties' under Drill through channel. One for the first 2 portlets and the other one for the next set of portlets. Specify portlet 2 as a receiver only for the output of the first portlet and specify portlet 3 as a receiver for the drill through output of the second portlet. Hope that helps.
Cheers
