How to pass parameter value into html design page?
(That is YOU Create a html page and use that page in your
cognos 8 report header.take <html item> my question is how
to use parameter value in the html page .)

Answer Posted / sumeet

Here is the URL to use to call report from java
The following URL will work. Please note that prompt names
are case sensitive and we need to prefix 'p_' to the
defined prompt names. Although this passes the prompt
values, it doesn’t suppress the prompt page. So, in order
to achieve that we include an additional expression
(&run.prompt=false)

http://<server_name>/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?
b_action=xts.run&m=portal/report-
viewer.xts&ui.action=run&ui.object=%2fcontent%2fpackage%5b%
40name%3d%27<Folder_name>(optional)%27%5d%2freport%5b%
40name%3d%27<report_name>%27%
5d&run.prompt=false&p_p_year=2007&p_p_month=09

Here p_year and p_month are the parameter name for prompt

Hi, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
