Before you begin
About this task
The CreateReportView command copies the source folder structure and report views to a target folder. The command includes parameters that you can use to pass pre-set values to the report views. You do not need to again enter the parameters when you next view the report. You can specify any number of parameter names and value pairs.

To create the same reports sets for multiple projects:

  1. Open the Command window.
  2. Go to the Rational_Insight_installation_directory/ReportTool directory.
  3. Run the Windows Run CreateReportView.bat command or Linux Run ./CreateReportView.sh command.
  4. In response to the following prompts, specify the parameters:
    1. Enter Rational Insight Reporting Server URL - Specify the URL for the Rational® Insight report serverreporting server, for example http://insight/servlet/dispatch.
    2. Enter user name to login - If authentication enabled, specify the user name. Otherwise, press ENTER.
    3. Enter password to login - If authentication enabled, specify the password Otherwise, press ENTER.
    4. Enter name space for this Server - If authentication enabled, specify the name space. Otherwise, press ENTER. The name space is displayed in the browser so that you can enter the name and password. However, the displayed name space might be the value of the name space parameter, which can be different from the ID of the name space as configured in Cognos® Configuration. Make sure that you specify the name space ID.
    5. Enter source folder name - Specify the name of the folder from where the reports will be run and saved. It must be an existing folder located under Public folder. To specify the folder path, use /, for example Sample Report Definitions/Data Warehouse Reports.
    6. Enter target folder name - Specify the name of the folder where the report views will be saved. If this folder does not exist, it will be created.
    7. Enter parameters with name and value -paramName - Specify the parameter name of reports (such as All Programs). Otherwise, press ENTER. -paramValue - Specify a parameter value, such as CMProgram.
    After executing the command, verify if the target folder has been created on the target server and the reports saved.
    Note: All subfolders will be copied into the target folder. Only reports will be executed and saved as report views. Dashboard or other element types will be ignored.
