Accessing report outputs saved by IBM Cognos Analytics studios

You can retrieve reports outputs saved by Analysis Studio, Query Studio, and Reporting.

Use the outputFormat resource type (REST application) or the getOutputFormat method (SOAP application) to retrieve reports outputs. The report output can only be retrieved in the format it was saved in, and it cannot be filtered. However, the burstID and burstKey options can be specified

  • If the fmt option is specified, the report output will be retrieved in the specified format if there is a version saved in that format. Otherwise, the IBM Cognos Analytics server will return an error page of type 404.
  • A particular version of a saved report cannot be retrieved.
