Custom Report Template

[lcarlos]

Hello C10,

I'm currently trying to make the modification for the report specification for the custom report template. I have made the necessary changes but I'm not seeing the new templates and I'm not getting any error messages. I have check to see if there is more than one template.exe on my laptop and its only showing one file. I have also removed the following files (reportstudio_de.xml, reportstudio_en.xml, reportstudio_fr.xml, reportstudio_ja.xml, Resource.xml, template.xml, Toolbox.xml, and ToolboxControls.xml) which I was expecting that I should get and error message because these files are no longer in the res folder. So, when I go into Cognos 10 and launch report studio and select new, I shouldn't see any templates. But, I do and I don't understand where these files are being read from. This is the path where these files are located: C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\cognos\c10_64\webcontent\pat\res. I'm currently on window 7 operating system and using Cognos 10_64 your help is gratefully needed.

I'm hoping that you have seen this issue and can help me with resolving this issue.  :)

Regards, Linda

Hi,

Are you using IIS? If yes then you need to see were your webcontent is point to C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\cognos\c10_64\webcontent . Please see this document from http://www.ironsidegroup.com/2010/07/08/designing-effective-ibm-cognos-report-studio-templates/

Another thing have you added the new list item to resource.xml. You might also need to bounce your IIS.

Thanks,
