I have a Cognos Express version 9.5 report with Drill-Through defined on a list column that open a second report passing it the coresponding data item value as parameter.
The second report open correctly showing data filtered as it should using the parameter received during drill-Through.
The problem is that the second report take forever to open and freeze my browser during various seconds... This is strange because this problem happen only when opening second report with drill-through and not when opening it directly filling in the optional parameter with a prompt...
Using browser debugger (f12) I noticed that http://my_server/p2pd/servlet/dispatch is called hundred of times before opening the second report and this is what is causing the browser to freeze...
Any idea what is happening?
Try using the 'Drill Through Assistant' to help with debugging your Drill-Through definition.
Here is a link to IBM site describing how to use the Drill through assistant.
Migrating my report to COGNOS 10.1.1 solved the problem...

A couple of reports on our server have had failed subscriptions recently; the queries run fine, render in the browser fine and some combinations of parameters that filter the data down still deliver fine.
A subscription has failed to send and after looking into it it's actually the export to excel (other export formats work, including csv) that fails:
Reporting Services Error For more information about this error
navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable
remote errors
I've made a copy of the report and kept filtering it down until I've isolated the specific record and field that are causing the issue, it appears to be an incorrectly entered date:
01/10/0022
Obviously it should be 2022 and it would be better if the data was correct from the start but we don't have control over that. Taking the column that date is in out of the report and then trying to export, it works, adding it back in and it fails again. I know we've had examples like the above before in the data as some other reports were written using DATETIME instead of DATETIME2 fields causing the report generation itself to fail, fixing those reports and running their respective subscriptions again worked so I'm assuming something must have changed on our report server instance that's now causing the export to fail here.
Has anyone come across this before and know what would be causing the export to fail just based on this date value?
I am working on cognos and user wants that the output version of report is not saved with report.
I looked for options and found below screen that has radio button making it impossible to uncheck. Setting value to zero means unlimited number of output.
I believe setting Duration to 0 days will stop output versions being saved.
If not, set it to 1 day and it will clear itself each night.
There is default setting in Cognos that can be accessed from report properties.
It allows us to set the default action when user click on report link in Cognos connection.
As in below screen, I have set default action to run the report that was earlier view most recent report.
I'm experiencing a weird problem when trying to import XML data to Excel 2016.
I have a Webservice created in C# which conforms to XML standards.
In Excel 2016 I use the "Data"->"From internet"->"Pasted URL to the Webservice".
When I finish the Excel import dialog I get a nice table representation of my data from the Webservice.
But when the output changes in the Webservice and I hit the "Update" option when right-clicking the datatable - the data doesn't update in the datatable!
If I repeat and click update again (exactly the same operation as before) - the data updates in the datatable...
Anyone knows how to overcome this strange behavior?
For reference I also tried hitting the update and update all in the ribbon under data and tried any possible combinations under the connection properties - to no avail.
And I also tried to reload the XML in the browser - here the data is updated instantly - so It doesn't seem to be related to caching. I can see Excel writes connecting shortly on the first run - but no update occurs.
I have a VS2012 SSRS report project with a shared data set. The data set is being created from a SQL Stored Proc. I used to use VS2008, and all of the available data fields would show below the data set, however, in VS2012 I cannot figure out how to get them to show. I've removed the data set, and added it back, I've completely removed the DataSource and added it back, nothing works.
The original report file was built in VS2008, and was converted to a VS2012 project. Not sure if this could be contributing to the problem.
Thank you.
Your screen shot shows the Solution Explorer pane. Data Fields never appeared in this pane, in any version of SSRS.
I suspect what you are looking for is the Report Data Pane, which you should find on the View menu

I have a page with an interactive report. If I do a 'Control Break' and have an aggregate in place, is there a way I can export the results to Excel, exactly the way it appears on the page?
When I 'Download' the report, it appears as the third screen shot, which is not separated.
Interactive Report Results:
How I would like to export the data to Excel:
The format that is currently exported:
The download to excel is always in CSV format. The file extension is not .xlsxbut .CSV. So, i'd say no.
It's tough too. Even if you were to create a custom export to excel you'd have to extract the current query of the report (which is something that has finally been made easier in 4.2, but is possible in 4.0/1 with 3rd party packages). Then you'd also have to account for the control break(s) you applied, since those are not reflected in the IR query (even with APEX_IR).
I've dabbled with generating an xlsx file and made a blogpost/sample application on that if you'd like to see what it encompasses. Be aware that this is taking 'custom solution' to the extreme though (at least, in my opinion).

you could create the report in BI Publisher in Oracle, then through APEX, you can call the report with parameters.
Actually APEX Office Print (AOP) supports exporting for Interactive Report and Interactive Grid (and others) to Excel, exactly as you see on the screen (so including breaks, group by etc)
