PM72352: PORTAL PAGE ALWAYS SHOWS SAVED REPORT OUTPUT, EVEN IF REPORT SETTINGS SET TO ALWAYS RUN THE REPORT

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When a portal page with a Cognos Navigator and Cognos viewer
  portlet are configured using a channel to display the contents
  of the selected report in the navigator into the viewer portlet,
  and the reports themselves are set with overrides to always run
  the report in format X (other than HTML) the report will show
  the saved output, not run the report anew. This can be
  determined by the timestamp of the output. The expected behavior
  would be to have the report run based on the parameters it is
  configured with in Cognos Connection.
  

Local fix

• Set a default report in the Viewer portlet, ponting to the updat
  ed report. Edit the options for the report, match with what is c
  onfigured in Cognos Configuration and then remove the default re
  port. The report now runs as expected.
