Cognos Custom Controls

[VCrothers1991]

Hi All,

Hoping somebody can give me a hand with custom controls. I am trying to re-use some of the samples provided in CA11 but am not having any luck.

I seem to have all the Module Path and files installed correctly but the chart/controls are not redndering and instead i am getting string data like below. This example is the D3 Bar chart sample.

{"columns":[{"name":"Region","dataType":"string","values":["","NAM-GCB","Korea","EMEA","Asia Pacific","Japan","Mexico","Latin America","ICG"]},{"name":"Total Triggers","label":"Revenue","dataType":"number", "format": {
"type": "numberFormat"}
}],"rows":[[0,136380],[1,18210],[2,1296],[3,33474],[4,41544],[5,35628],[6,6948],[7,10548],[8,103770]]}

Has anyone any ideas on what i am doing wrong? Would be grateful if you could assist.

Thanks,
Viktor

Forgot i had full interactivity to 'No'.

Changed this to yes but getting an error which looks like the report cannot find the js library.

Scriptable Report Error

Module: opt/Cog11/webcontent/samples/NewVisualization/C_NewVisualizationColumn.js

Description:
Failed to load modulke
script error
opt/Cog11/webcontent/samples/NewVisualization/C_NewVisualizationColumn.js

Any other ideas?

Failed to load module

...may mean it couldn't find it and may mean that your JavaScript is not compatible with RequireJs.  Read the blog post and docs (linked from the blog) regarding the module path.  Build a simple sample RequireJs app (not in Cognos) to become more comfortable with that coding paradigm.

Not sure this is the case, it is a straight copy of the samples provided by IBM

I think the problem is that you're referencing the webcontent folder. In general that is set as the path in the webserver, so you shouldn't need to reference it.

You also need to be careful when not using fully qualified domains. The path is different went running from report studio versus running from connection.

I opened an RFE trying to get them to allow users to upload controls to make this part easier. Consider voting for https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=102650
