Error description
This functionality worked in 11.0.13 Cognos. Maximo uses the Cognos Viewer (/vi/disp) when launching out to Cognos. It appears that in 11.1.7 (and onward) this context does not work the same within Cognos. and hyperlinking with parameters fails to pass the parameter values. Using the Cognos perspective "authoring" (newer alternative to Cognos Viewer) in 11.1.7 does handle the parameter passing as expected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: This can be tested without requiring Maximo as you can force a command line to appear as it were coming from Maximo. You do require a Cognos analytics server. Create 2 reports within Cognos. A Launch report and a Landing report Add a few work order elements to the Launch report - Wonum, status date, description Make the wonum a link to your sub report add 2 parameters on a prompt page - status and status date create the landing page in a similar fashion. within Cognos, run the launch report, supply status APPR and using the date picker enter 1999, Aug, 10 as the date click Finish you should see a list of work orders copy the url from the address bar click on a work order Cognos will pass your chosen parameters and display the sub report directly edit your copied url and change /bi/?perspective=authoring to bi/v1/disp?b_action=cognosViewer paste this in a new browser tab and it should present the report as if it were launched from Maximo enter parameters and select a work order from the list RESULTS: you will be shown the prompt page for the sub report The url will end with /vi/disp instead of including all the appropriate parameters. EXPECTED RESULTS: The sub report should launch directly. PRODUCT VERSION: 7.6.1.2
