Use Reportpath() function to construct url in Cognos Analytics

Reportpath() function returns the path of the report as /content/folder[@name=""]/report[@name=""] and this was used to construct report url dynamically in C10.2.2. but this path cannot be used to construct url in cognos analytics as the url construction in C11 is different.

We would need to have the ReportPath() function to be used to dynamically construct an url in Cognos 11

    This is not currently on our roadmap. We would continue to monitor this request through voting and will adjust status accordingly if needed.

    Example used in Cognos 10 is a Layout Calculation with expression: 'http://' + ServerName () + '/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?' + 'b_action=cognosViewer&ui.action=run&ui.object=' + ReportPath () + '&run.outputFormat=&run.prompt=true'

    The reportPath (ie. /folder[@name='Name of folder']/report[@name='Name of report']) cannot be used as part of the pathref argument, as this requires a syntax of
    .public_folders/Name of folder/Name of report"

    If there is a function in report studio to get pathref or objref we could generate urls

    Can you please give me an example of the URL you are trying to create?

    The Reportpath() returns CM search path still. What has changed is that our URLs tend to use pathRef (and objRef) instead of CM serach paths.
