IBM Cognos 10.1.1
Users are accessing Cognos portal through desktop and laptop machines, and some through iPads. Those who access though iPad have special special settings because they are very often outside usual network.

Desktop users are accessing portal through URL: http://servernameDESKTOP/cognos10, and iPad users are accessing through URL http://servernameIPAD/cognos10.
That works fine.

We have created a report in report studio. That report contains links to saved reports. Since we have large number of saved reports that are shown on that "master" report, for easier administration we have put those links in one table in Oracle database.

Basically what is happening is this.

For desktop users everything works fine.
iPAD users can start "master" report, but when they click on any link they are trying to access saved report, but with wrong servername.

Is it possible somehow to replace the servername for iPAD users?

When desktop user enters the portal with http://servernameDESKTOP/cognos10 there is no need for change, but when iPad users enter the portal and try to click on saved report link, servername should be changed from servernameDESKTOP to servernameIPAD.

Thank you in advance!!
