Cognos Viewer remove "open with report studio" option - business-intelligence

We have upgraded from cognos bi 8.4 to 10.1.
Reports are ran directly view links we provide straight to the prompt page, when the report is ran Cognos Viewer opens and report is displayed in pdf...however the users have an option on the toolbar on top right side to "open with report studio", how do i disable/hide this option??
It is beside the options to view report as html and excel etc.
I can see how to remove the view report at html by editing the system.xml file... but i cannot see how to remove this option for opening in report studio.
Any help would be good!

IBM has an article about this. Skip to the 'Using URL Commands' section.
In your link to the report, add '&cv.toolbar=false' to remove the toolbar that contains the Report Studio link. You can also add '&cv.header=false' to remove the Cognos View title bar.
If removing the toolbar is an issue (you need other functions), then you can remove options using system.xml
This includes options beginning with RV_ that will remove tools from the Report Viewer. However the 'Open in Report Studio' is not an option.
Your best bet in this case is to:
Remove the entire Toolbar ( RV_TOOLBAR )
use the option to add back in the required elements (XML output, saveas, etc).
With the toolbar removed, this may require some tweaking to achieve a desirable web page layout.

You can revoke an access to Report Studio for users.
Go to Cognos Administration -> Security -> Capabilities and set up access to RS there

BIRT Maximo possible to add parameter dialog prompt text to individual parameters? Works in ide not in Maximo

In Maximo, using the BIRT ide to develop/modify reports, there is a section to allow the developer to add and modify parameters for the report. These parameters are usually entered by the user at runtime in a dialog. In the ide there are fields for 'prompt text' which appears next to the parameter, but this prompt text does not show up in Maximo. Is there a way to get this to show up in Maximo at runtime, instead of just in the ide at development time? Maximo 7.6.1.0 is being used.
From what you describe, I suspect you haven't generated a request page for your report. Select your desired report from the Report Administration app and use the button name "Generate Request page" to the bottom right of the table in the List tab of said app.
This should fix your problem.

odoo / OpenERP V8 - Tutorial on QWeb Reports

I am trying to start with odoo. One of the most import thing for us would be to generate different layout for sale orders.
I've started with this document: https://github.com/odoo/odoodays-2014/blob/master/v8_reporting_engine/index.rst
It is from the "odoodays 2014" and shows how to customize an existing report. This works fine. I don't understand the points under "Generic / particular report".
Now I'm lost trying to add a new report (starting with a copy of the exisiting report) with a custom template.
I've tried to add a new item in the report view in settings, but I can't add any linked qweb views (I've added a new one, but it didn't get a new ID).
I've tried to create a copy in the views directory of the addon but it didn't help.
Is there any tutorial for this ?
Is there somebody who can give me some pointers how to add a new report ?
After searching around I've come to this solution. I've translated all the menu headers from German, because I'm using Odoo in German.
reports are listed in Settings / Reporting / Reports
you can click one of the reports
if you edit one of the reports you can click on "Search for linked QWeb Views" - you can click and change these views. They are in HTML and are used for the data in the reports
New reports are typically added with a plugin.
If you would like to change the report with the website editor you can install the website builder. If you change one of the reports from PDF to HTML (in Settings / Reporting / Reports) you get a popup when you're generating the report.
In this popup you can change the report template. With this you can change the template with the website builder tools.
These reports are saved in the database in the table ir_ui_view. If you change to another database they still have the original reports (this was my big fear - that changing the reports changes them for all databases).
Header and footer are still changed in the company settings with RDL.
So basically everything from the odoodays-2014 document is working like they've showed on this website - it was just pretty hard to find out how these things worked.

Tab page and Group box control in SSRS 2005

Is there any way to show multiple report pages in single report viewer? If yes the how? Please tell me step by step or any direct link?
Is TAB Page control and Group box control are available in SSRS 2005 or it may available to download these control from any website?
Actually I have more than 5 different reports and have to show each report in a single tab page(Is it possible or any other idea, please)
and secondly I have to group some controls/data in group then after I can hide/unhide group box in place of all controls/data.
Please help on both problems...
Thanks in advance:
Shashi
One easy way to do this INSIDE a report is to add 5 sub reports to the main report with a page break after. Then, Add a DocumentMapLabel for each report. You will be able to navigate to each sub report using the document map. ---Another option is to make an ASP.NET (or just html) page with links to each.

how to customise the FCK editor toolbar within Oracle's UCM

I'm trying to work out how to customise the FCK editor toolbar for contribution for Oracle's Content Server.
I am familiar with how to customise the FCK editor but am unsure of the correct way to apply custom scripts to the standard WYSIWYG editor for contributors.
I have this reference: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10613/c11_scripts.htm#BEIEDBEF
But it does not reveal how to implement the custom configuration scripts and the references send you in loops.
Has anyone done this, know how to do this or has any links to useful sites for this topic?
Thanks
This is easy enough.
Head to the following folder in your UCM install.
/weblayout/webform/fckeditor
Here you will find the FCK source, and some handy doco files.
In Site Studio; check: Site Assets -> Custom Configuration Scripts
This is where you will find the content based files that will expand the FCK editor.
I believe some samples are installed with the SS component, try your luck with the 'Add to Site' feature.
If they don't show up for your site, search for the 'Web Site Object Type' = 'Custom Configuration Script' or ID = SS_FCK_ and add them.
Once all this is done, you will have to assign the configuration Scripts to your 'Element Definition'. Under the "Custom Configuration" field (you can add multiple scripts).
The scripts are just JS, you can edit them easily enough within Site Studio.

Add Custom Tag to Visual Studio Validation

How can I add rules to Visual Studio (2005 and up) for validating property markup (HTML) for a vendor's proprietary controls?
My client uses a control which requires several properties to be set as tags in the aspx file which generates something like 215 validation errors on each build. It's not preventing me from building, but real errors are getting lost in the noise.
Right-click on the Source view of an HTML / ASP page and select "Formatting and Validation".
Click "Tag Specific Options".
Expand "Client HTML Tags" and select the heading.
Click "New Tag...".
And just fill it in!
I wish that I could add custom CSS values as well.
