Hi Gurus,

I am aware in Cognos Analytics we have a property to automatically refresh Dashboards. However, do we have similar functionality for HTML reports authored using the 'Author' environment? I wish to refresh the report automatically every x seconds.

I have attempted to use the following java script within an HTML item without success.

Many thanks!

Java Script:

<script>
(function(global){

var ocr = cognos.Report.getReport("_THIS_");
function sendPRMT_Request(eAction) {
ocr.sendRequest(eAction);
}
function sendFinishRequest() {
sendPRMT_Request(cognos.Report.Action.FINISH);
}
// This is the timeinterval
global.setInterval( function() { sendFinishRequest(); }, 5000 );
// for Auto Refresh 5000 is a value in milliseconds, ie 5 seconds here.
})(this);
</script>

Hi,

This has worked for me in a Cognos 10 environment and may be worth trying.  Copy and Paste the code below into an HTML item.  Adjust the interval time by changing the "RunReport()",'100000' );" parameter (currently set to 100000 milliseconds (100 seconds))

Kind regards,

Kirk


<script type="text/javascript">
var intval;
var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == "function" ? getFormWarpRequest() : document.forms["formWarpRequest"]);
if ( !fW || fW == undefined)  
{
fW = ( formWarpRequest_THIS_ ? formWarpRequest_THIS_ : formWarpRequest_NS_ );
}
var preFix = "";
if (fW.elements["cv.id"])
{
preFix = fW.elements["cv.id"].value;
}    
var nameSpace = "oCV" + preFix;
if(intval!="")
{
self.clearInterval(intval);
intval="";
}
self["RunReportInterval"] = self.setInterval( nameSpace + ".getRV().RunReport()",'100000' );
intval = self["RunReportInterval"];
</script>' ​​
