• Use the following URL when creating a custom section item, for launching reports in a new window from the Changepoint menu:

/Core/TreeViews/LoadCognosreport.aspx?reportid={GUID value}

Once you click on the menu item, the rest of the parameters (resourceID and sessionID) are provided and the report is launched in a separate window.

  • Use the following URL when creating a custom section item, for launching a Cognos folder in a new window from the Changepoint menu (this example loads the Changepoint folder into the Internet Explorer window):

/ibmcognos/bi/?perspective=home&folder=.public_folders%2FChangepoint&location=team

  • If you need to load another folder, you can obtain the URL of the folder using the Share function in Cognos Analytics:


Copy the string starting from "/ibmcognos/bi..." until the end, and paste it into the URL field when creating a custom section:



The rest of the parameters such as the session ID will be added automatically when the page is launched from the menu.

NOTE: Please note that this is a non-standard method for accessing Cognos from Changepoint and therefore is not certified.
