AS/400 + Cognos

[rteruyas]

I got a tricky question today. Is there a way to call/execute a Cognos report from AS/400?
I'm trying to think of an scenario where we would use that, but for now it's just for curiosity

Via URL is the most feasible option I'd guess. The SDK doesn't support RPG.

Not sure if this will work, but try adding a scheduled trigger to the report/job. - Assuming you have the ability to schedule "By Trigger".
Then, try a RUNRMTCMD statement in a CL program to execute a .bat file that has the appropriate syntax to activate that trigger.

Not sure what permissions you will need setup on the .bat file, but I assume AS400 user will need sufficient authority to execute the .bat file.

Let me know what you find out.
Thanks,
Adam.
