Filling Parameters

[charon]

Hiho everybody,

im thinking about a workaround for a special requierment, which is "copy and paste" from a third party tool into the search prompts of cognos.
My Idea is to programm a small java gui which copy the content of the clipboard into the cognos ?paramter? directly.

As far as i know cognos 10.2 has a new prompt api..does anybody has already some experiences? I have never worked with SDK bevor, are there any good documentations out there? (like the cookbook for active reports, which was awesome).
Thx for any advices...regards :P

I just saw this. Take a look at the Prompt API samples. There's a sample that shows saving the results to a cookie and reading from the cookie. I've had some success writing to/from a file with some modifications to that.

So for your purpose I'd create a text field with an on change event that would attempt to parse the text and set the prompts (they can be hidden).
