Starting Analysis Studio

You can use a URL to quickly open and run a specific report in IBM® Cognos® Analysis Studio.

Use the following parameters to start Analysis Studio with the parameterized URL method:


http://localhost/ibmcognos/bi/v1/disp?b_action=xts.run&m=
portal/launch.xts&ui.gateway=
http://localhost/ibmcognos/bi/v1/disp&ui.
tool=AnalysisStudio&ui.action=new

When starting Analysis Studio with the parameterized URL method, specify both the gateway (http://localhost/ibmcognos/bi/v1/disp?) and the ui.gateway parameter.

Use the following parameters to start Analysis Studio with the cognosLaunch method:


cognosLaunch('ui.gateway','http://localhost/ibmcognos/bi/v1/disp','ui.
tool','AnalysisStudio','ui.action','new')

The ui.object parameter is mandatory for both methods. However, if it is missing, you are prompted to select a package.

In addition to the mandatory parameters required, you can also use the following optional parameter:

  • ui.backURL

    Specifies the URI to open after you close the selected component.

    IBM Cognos Application Firewall validation is enforced on URLs that contain this parameter. For more information see, URL Validation
