How to programmatically retrieve Cognos Report Metadata 11.1.7 using the Java SDK

118 Views Asked by At

I wish to connect to a Cognos server list all report ids in a package and programmatically retrieve their report metadata like title, description, and pathref using the Java SDK finding this report metadata by report id.

I am writing a command line utility that will output to a CSV file. There does not seem to be any documentation about this that I can find. I am using Cognos Analytics version 11.1.7 with the Cognos Java SDK.

It might not be exactly what you are looking for but the Windows Cognos Analytics installs come with a CMTools utility which has a CMBrowser and a CMTools perspective.
