Auto-refreshing a report in a Cognos viewer portlet

Hello,
I have a report that i want to auto-refresh every 2 minutes. The report is placed in a Portal page/Cognos viewer. I have previously used the technique described here : http://www.cognoise.com/index.php?topic=10856.0. However, after upgrading from 10.1.1 to 10.2, this no longer works. That is, it works when running the report directly, either from Report Studio or the portal. But not inside the viewer portlet. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul...

No thoughts? No one who are auto-refreshing reports in a portal page?

What browser and version do your users consume the report from (IE 7/8/9, Firefore, Chrome)?

I don't know if that code only works with IBM Cognos versions before 10.1, but there is a possibility that the Cognos Viewer functions it uses could have changed/deprecated. However, I do know that later IE versions had the auto refresh functionality disabled/deprecated for security reason. Let me know if this helps. Thanks.
