JavaScript reference?

[ztruelove]

While I can stumble upon random JavaScript solutions to specific problems here and there, I'm wondering if there's actual reference material on using JavaScript with Cognos (objects, methods, etc.).  Suggestions?

Have you looked at the documentation and samples for the Prompt API?

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_10.2.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cr_rptstd.10.2.0.doc/c_prmpt_api_overview.html

Paul's blog is (as suggested by Mark) also an excellent place to find out how to do things both using and outside of the Prompt API.

Cheers!

I was actually going to ask about Prompt API today. Is there a separate module that needs to be installed? Or is it just baked into the standard Cognos 10.2 installation? I didn't see any references to a separate install anywhere, but I found it interesting that they gave it its own name.

It's an integral part of the core BI install, so not something you can install on its own or separately. If you've installed Cognos BI server, you have the Prompt API baked into it (provided you're on 10.2 and later)

Perfect! I'll read up on that this weekend then. Thanks!!
