  • 1.  Relative URL to a cognos report?

    Posted Wed October 16, 2019 03:34 PM

    I have a Cognos report that includes hardcoded links (URLs) pointing to other reports. When the report is moved from development to production, the links need be updated to point to the production equivalent.

    Is there a way to use relative URLs, so links don't have to be updated when report is moved between environments.

    Thanks!

    if you use the deployment process the links should be corrected automatically.  Have you found this to not be the case?

    Hi Norbert,

    The URLs i'm referring to are hardcoded inside HTML items in the report.

    I'm exploring the possibility of using a relative URL where I do not have to include the servername/domain name part...

    I think Motio PI Pro can help if you have these URL at more than one place. We always change the DNS or have vanity URLs which never change, even though you move Cognos to different servers..may be you should try that.
