request to pass report xml through form parameter to run report with modified xml

Hi,

we are trying to build a form page/url with parameters to run cognos analytics report (cognos 11 report with Interactivity set to Yes) like the way we do in cognos 10.

in Cognos 10, we used to post the following parameters to run the report























similarly as mentioned in below URL for cognos 11 also we want to do same

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.wig_cr.doc/c_wig_cr_create_custom_url.html

But we are able to pass only the following parameters for Interactivity based reports



value='{"name":"p_Line","value":{"use":"Camping Equipment"}}' style="display: none"/>








we are unable to pass ui.spec

So without this we are unable to execute the modified reportXML? (we dont want run main report since the modified report will have dynamic content passed)

So team could please let us know how to achieve this in Cognos 11 like the way we work in cognos 10?

I have found something below in rsContenview.js file (location : webcontent/bi/js/authoring/rsContentView.js)

try {
// to open a report passed on the URL and pass parameters, we need access to the
// launch parameters stored in the calling window's Application object
var v_oLaunchParameters = rsLaunchParameters.Retrieve(options.launchParametersKey);
if (v_oLaunchParameters)
{
this.m_oLaunchParameters = v_oLaunchParameters;
}
else if (window.parent && options.launchParametersKey && window.parent[options.launchParametersKey])
{
this.m_oLaunchParameters = window.parent[options.launchParametersKey];
}

if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed && window.opener.RSParameters)
{
if (options.isNemesis)
{
var o = window.opener.RSParameters;
for( var v_sAttrName in o)
{
if (v_sAttrName == 'reportXML')
{
// Passing the report spec text in an HTML encoded JSON object
// is difficult. There are multiple levels of encoding.
// Instead we pass a sentinel value and stash the original value
// for later retrieval.
v_oRSParameters.useGlassReportXML = true;
this.m_sReportSpecFromOpener = o[v_sAttrName];
}
else
{
v_oRSParameters[v_sAttrName] = o[v_sAttrName];
}
}

if (v_oRSParameters.useGlassReportXML)
{
v_oRSParameters.isTemplate = false;
v_oRSParameters.model = "";
}

if (o.AppOnLoad)
{
this.AppOnLoad = window.opener[ o.AppOnLoad ];
}
}


but how not sure can i set/pass rsLaunchParameters with reportXML? any samples/examples please help us as we are unable to do actions which we do with cognso 10 URL's.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks,
Srilakshmi
