Error description
You are supposed to set the options property, adding a RunOptionEnum.outputFormat element to change the default execution output format of a report.??However this does not work properly.??There are 2 different situations:??1.) No default execution format is defined in IBM Cognos Connection:?- You use the SDK to modify the options property of a report (e.g. to PDF), adding the RunOptionEnum.outputFormat element to it.?- Refreshing the view in IBM Cognos Connection, the report icon changes from HTML to PDF. Checking the report options in IBM Cognos Connection, it also says that PDF is the overwritten default output format. But when running the report, it will be executed in HTML (or more precisely with the output format the user defined in his personal settings, which is by default HTML).??2.) You define in IBM Cognos Connection a default output format, e.g. XML:?- You use the SDK to modify the options property of a report (e.g. to PDF), adding the RunOptionEnum.outputFormat element to it.?- Refreshing the view in IBM Cognos Connection, the report icon remains the icon for XML. Checking the report options in IBM Cognos Connection, you still see XML as the overwritten default output format. ?Running the report, it will be executed in XML.??In previous versions of IBM Cognos BI you could also modify the executionFormat property whoch resolved this issue. However, this property were deprecated since IBM Cognos 8.2 and was removed in 10.2.1.
