Use the SDK to Modify Report Specifications

• programmatically apply the same change to many reports
• automate report creation using an SDK application

For example, you can change a report specification to add a column of data, or to apply conditional formatting based on certain values for multiple reports. You can automate a change to all reports, such as updating the company logo. You can also modify report specifications to change the report query, style, layout, model connection, prompts, distribution, or delivery.

We recommend that you run one of the samples that demonstrates how to modify a report specification. For more information, see Code Samples and Language-specific Coding Practices in the IBM® Cognos® Software Development Kit Developer Guide.
