An active report is handled a little differently than a regular Cognos report. Active reports will not appear in the “reports menu” or as a portlet.

You can only deploy an active report within a Cognos workspace in Changepoint.

You must do the following:

  1. Create a Cognos workspace
  2. Drag the active report onto the workspace and then save the workspace.
  3. Create a portal in Changepoint, and reference the Cognos Workspace. This will then run the active report.
  4. In Cognos connection, you will want to schedule the Active Report to run/rerun, so that when the Changepoint Workspace runs, it will always show up-to-date data.

Note: In Changepoint 2017 SP1 the report sync utility was modified to handle reports, workspaces, dashboards, active reports and report views so that they will be available in the Changepoint Reports treeview and can be selected when creating Changepoint portals and portlets.
