Embedding a cognos report in flex

Hi,
I need to embed a cognos report in pdf format in the same browser in a tabpanel. Is this possible. I dont want the report to open in a seperate window in flex but the same application window.
Thx,
Vaishali.

Hope this is what you mean..
This will open your pdf report
This will open your pdf report in the same browser in your application window
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://yourdomain.com/yourreport.pdf"),"_self");
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?
Thanks and
regards,

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks

can you post actual SQL & results?

Can the XML style sheet be embedded in the report file?

My customer would like to be able to share test reports with several locations. The problem is that sending just the XML report file is not enough. The report file points to a style sheet that must exist at the specified path on the destination PC. It creates problems when one simply wants to email over a test report. I have customized the style sheet slightly to make things easier to read. So, can I embed my custom style sheet in each report file?
Thanks,

Hi,
The XML style sheet should not be embedded into the report file. Since XML would represent raw data, you would not include information on how to interpret it. However, there is a way for you to easily reference your style sheet, even when it is on another computer.
1) Go to Configure >> Report Options in TestStand, and change the style sheet file to your style sheet.
2) Uncheck the "Store Absolute File Path" box.
3) Make sure the style sheet is in the same folder as your report.
You can view this on any computer, and now a relative path is now being used to reference the file.

Migrating Cognos Reports to Birt

Hi,
I am relatively less familiar with Cognos.
What is the best way to migrate a bunch of Cognos Reports to Birt.
I have the Cognos Report files and the query definition file from Cognos.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am not aware of a tool that directly converts Cognos reports into BIRT reports.
However, I am not overly familiar with Cognos reports.
If there is an API or a system available with Cognos reports to programmatically read their contents, you could then use the BIRT Design Engine API (DEAPI) to programmatically build report designs based on what is read from the Cognos designs.
Alternatively, each report can always be rebuilt individually using the BIRT Report designer as needed.

Creating/Displaying reports with Flex 2.0

Flex 2.0 does not have any reporting facilities. How does one
do reporting from Flex 2.0 Apps - say maybe in PDF format that uses
can print from.

as far as i can tell the only good option is using a
flexprintjob or printjob, and having your users print to a pdf
driver. a free one you can use if your users dont have an adobe one
is at cutePDF.

Cannot Drill From (PDF) using FF in Cognos Report Studio

Using Cognos Report Studio I can Drill From a PDF Report to another Report in IE.
I cannot Drill From a PDF Report to another Report in FF.

The PDF Viewer introduced in Firefox 19 does not (yet) have all the features of Adobe's PDF Plugin. You can switch using the settings described in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
The viewer is under active development, but I don't know how soon the feature you're using will be supported.

Can't Use UPK with Cognos Reports

I am trying to use UPK to record Cognos reports. If I have UPK open, the Cognos report freezes and will not run, so I'm unable to use UPK to record these reports. I have tried logging on as a remote user, or opening the report without UPK open, then opening and trying to record, and nothing works. Has anyone had this issue with Cognos or other web-based applications/reports?

I'm not familiar with any issues related to Cognos. I would suggest opening a support ticket: http://support.oracle.com/

Spectacular Reports in Flex

Hello, and thank you, collectively, for all the online and
community support. Flex is simply awesome! 2 months ago I was doing
my first installation and I now have a pretty exciting demo...
except for one thing.
Reports!
Reading post, after post, after post... this seems to be a
dark spot on an otherwise brilliant star. I've gotta believe quite
a few developers are doing what I am, so let's get to it...
I bring a dataset into my Flex (not AIR) app and allow the
user to manipulate it, filtering down to exactly what they want to
see... ADGs and charts, detail where appropriate. The climax of
this story is the report... but, there is no report! I really need
to take my client-side XML and transform it to something pretty and
printable.
I also need to do this client side, so solutions that require
an app server are off the table (I've done so much without an app
server, just a webserver and CGI, that I'd hate to add one just for
reports.)
ClearBI looks pretty cool, but the user community is hard to
find (or non-existent), and it's not real clear how to make it work
in our architecture.
I could use xsl:fo, if I could get my XML datasets from the
Flash sandbox to the browser (with a ProcessingInstruction). Seems
that may not be possible.
So my options seem to be to turn to an external reporting
solution. With as awesome as Flex has been so far, it seem this
should not be necessary.
I'm hoping to find something that produces paginated reports,
with embedded charts, that can export to PDF and Excel, all from
the client.
Has anyone found or created something like this?
TIA!

trivinci,
I have read that the latest version of Crystal Reports
supports integration with Flex (see
http://www.crystalreports.co.uk/assets/Download%20Centre/SAP%20Xcelsius.pdf
or
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/crystalreports/featuresfunct ions/index.epx
for example) which might help you,

Embedded AS3 SWF access in Flex 2

I have an SWF (Action Script 3) created in Flash 9 Alpha
Public.
I can access all its methods and variables when using
SWFloader, but fail to do so when embedding it by using [Embed]
tag.
I need to do it to use it as a custom cursor (CursorManager
accepts objects of Class type as cursors). Before I was using SWF 8
(AS2) with LocalConnection, but since the new SWF 9 is in Action
Script 3, I want to use it directly.
The code looks like this:
[Embed(source = "cursor_9.swf")]
private var newCursorSymbol:Class;
private function changeCursor(event:MouseEvent):void
CursorManager.setCursor(newCursorSymbol);
The question is. Can I, and if I can, then, how, access this
swf methods from within a Flex 2 application?
or else, can the CursorManager somehow accept the content of
SWFloader, which is a MovieClip object?
Thank you

This is tough. The DisplayObject that represents the customer
cursor is instantiated internally by the CursorManager and is
stored in a private variable, so there's no way to get at it. I
believe there is a hack you can do if you ever only have one
instance of that cursor. The Class you pass to the CursorManager
can be any DisplayObject, so you can cook one up to wrap your SWF.
For example, call it MyCursor.mxml:
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="...">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public static var sCursorLoader: SWFLoader;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:SWFLoader id="loader" source="cursor_9.swf"
creationComplete="sCursorLoader = loader"/>
</mx:Canvas>
And then use the CursorManager:
CursorManager.setCursor(MyCursor);
The idea is that once the CursorManager instantiates the
MyCursor class, the static variable will point to the SWFLoader, so
you can access it in a global way:
MyCursor.sCursorLoader
Of course, you'll have to put in some kind of delay to make
sure the SWF is completely loaded, etc. This is just something I
thought of off the top of my head, so take it with a grain of salt.
