Hi,
I need guidance from you for one of my requirement. I have two packages 1 and 2. Package 2 is detailed model of pacakge 1. I have certain use cases as in what is the month wise  profit per product for this year? User can create on the fly reports  .our plan is to create a package 1 report. Just connect it with the required packge. Enable this particular report for drill through based on package(for this I created a drill through definition by launching drill through definition from cognos connection page and set my target as the report created using package 2) so while running 1st report .. Cognos viewer opens up ..then right click and goto related links.  It will open the drill through definitions created for this 1package report. Clickg on that will take u to the executed pacakge 2report. All these are fine for me expect one requirement where the user wanted to edit the package 2report on the fly.which means while running the drill through definition .. instead of "run the report" can I have a option to "open the report in cognos workspace advanced". So that user can drag data items in for analysis
Or can anyone help to get another approach for this ??
I thought of putting a URL of workspace advanced on click to edit button ..but that won't work since hyperlink will gets executed by default.
In the cognos viewer where we can see the results there is an option to open the reports using report studio. Can I get some script that help to open the report in cognos workspace advanced from the cognos viewer?
Please guide
Thanks
