Hi Kiran,
I have not installed Cognos Analytics on my computer, so I don't have access to the SDK. We do have a corporate installation of Cognos Analytics that is available for everybody to use via the web interface. That's why I'm wondering if I can install just the SDK without installing the Analytics package. I've reached out to our Cognos team to see if they can give me the SDK, but I have not heard back from them yet.
I have not looked into the mashup service yet, but I do remember seeing it mentioned in some posts. I will look into that some more.
I have researched the new REST API and the swagger interface, but it's not clear as to how to trigger reports using it. I see ways to start sessions and manage items such as roles, tenants, users, etc, but I don't see a way to trigger a report.

Hi Doug,
SDK is part of Cognos Analytics 11.1.x installation; you don't need to download/install it separately. You can see a folder called SDK in your cognos installation directory.
Also, look at cognos mashup services in case that could help your scenario of calling reports from your java application. And lastly, don't forget to look at the new REST API that is included in 11.1.7 which you can consume from your application.
Regards

I am developing a Java application that needs to trigger Cognos reports. It seems that that best way to do that is by using the SDK. What is the easiest way to install it? We have corporate servers that host Cognos Analytics 11.1.x, so I don't need to run it locally on my development computer. Can I just install the SDK without installing all of Analytics? If so, how do I obtain just the SDK?
