I am new to Cognos right now I am trying to view the reports from mobile,ipad. I have searched for that one I got that I need to create Mobile Configuration setting for that it requires Cognos server url. I don't now how to generate it, can anyone tell the steps to do it.
It is the same URL that you use to access your Cognos BI server over the web or network. This is usually of the form http://cognos_bi_server.example.com/ibmcognos.
I used the fully qualified URl to open reports in mobile
like http://ip address:port/p2pd/servlet/dispatch/m

I am trying to generate pdf on clicking on url for different invoices on front end, using httphandler in asp.net web forms in the back end. The pdf generates well for all the invoices except for one, ON LIVE environment.
It opens a dialog box saying:
"Adobe Reader could not open '_XYZ__.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
While , when I try to replicate the same on my Dev / test enviroment , all the pdfs generate properly for all the invoices.
Hence, I am unable to debug the issue on Live. How do I solve it and what could be the reason. Please guide.
Thanks
I have SSRS 2008 R2 installed with a custom security sublayer. When logging into the client side area of SSRS via the /ReportServer url, SSRS returns a basic virtual directory listing as seen here:
Obviously this looks rubbish for a client to see, but I'm currently at a loss for how to tart it up and apply my own branding and styling to it. How do I add header and footer images, other standard navigation, css etc to make it look like our corporate website?
Suggestions gratefully received, many thanks.
The actual server page is not meant to be changed...you want to go to http://yourURL/Reports and change the actual report manager. The report manager has a CSS file that can be modified.
Report manager style sheet is available in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles
I'm making a page for a simple shopping website using visual studio 2010 (ASP.NET).
I have an SQL server database with sample products in it. Each product has an associated image I would like to load into a datagrid on a web page. So far I've tried storing the images as URLs and local directories (data type - text) but no joy. Any ideas?
Thanks for asking Manoj, I've actually managed to solve my issue using the following link if anyone should need it: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479350.aspx
My image URL was set as "text" data type in the SQL server database I then followed the instructions in the link. I'm happy to provide further help on the subject to anyone who might need it.
this is the first time I have tried this so I am probably missing something that is staring me right in the face.
I have an ASP.NET page where the user fills in a request which then emails a PDF rendered from a ReportViewer instance.
It all works fine when I run it locally through the ASP.NET localhost but when I try and run it of the webserver it fails with the following message:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'.
I can preview the report via the web based report manager via http://servername/reports which works without any problem and using the report editor in VS2005.
I suspect it is something to do with the credentials but I am at a loss. The data source is set with a username and password but this is saved within the datasource.
I have been looking at this for about a day now with no joy. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Andy
Woohoo...I managed to fix the problem.
It was the credentials after all. Even though I was specifying a username and password it was still using the webserver default credentials. I got a new user setup and it worked a treat.
As the error message didnt mention anything to do with unauthorised access and being able to pull the data through using VS2005 and the web browser for viewing the reports I thought it was the way I was referencing the report.
Thanks to those who had started to ponder about this.
i am using silverlight plugin 3.0 to display the chart.it is working fine on local pc but it is not working on server,it is not displaying any thing.
i have checked the MIME type also in iis.its over there.
please tell me whats the problem
thanking you
samir
Just to rule out the chart component itself, have you tried doing a simple "hello world" type application to see if it works?
This should test to see if it is the chart component/data source for it, or a general problem with your server/host and Silverlight.
It being a server, is IE in Extra Security Mode? It might not load up silverlight at all.
Do any silverlight things work? (I usually test with the gallery at silverlight.net).
I faced same problem. I used a perpetuum repoting tool. I had to create reporting services and these services are accessed by reporting viewer from client side. I forgot to change reporting services url. I put "localhost" and everything was blank(I saw blank page when access report).
so check if there is any issue like this...
or check this url about "URL Access Restrictions in Silverlight"
