I’m trying to get “clean” report path for giving Cognos report using Audit package “Run Reports>Report search path” or “COGIPF_RUNREPORT>REPORT PATH”. What I’m getting now is /content/folder[@name=‘Folder1’]/folder[@name=‘Folder2’]/folder[@name=‘Folder3’]/folder[@name=‘Folder4’]/report[@name=‘MyReport’], but what I expected is Folder1>Folder2>Folder3>Folder4>MyReport. I tried play with SUBSTR, INSTR and LENGTH (REPLACE is not working) functions (I’m using Oracle 10g), but already killed most of my afternoon, but didn’t go far. Even if I’m getting one scenario, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to get dynamic folder structure all the time i.e. one time I’ll have 4 folders and next time it will be 2 or 5, so not sure how to capture that.
what is the purpose of a clean report path? Do you want to report directly on the audit database and change the path format in a report, or preform a ETL job and write the result in a new table and query on this table?
I need this for a report. Report with a status/health of the system, so this will be part of dashboard. Displaying path directly from Audit db would be a garbage, don’t you think?
i used ultra-edit as a reformat (kind of ETL)step in order to get the format i wanted and loaded the results from MotioPI and Cognos audit data in a database. With framework manager i created a framework in order to run reports with it.
I’m not familiar with this tool and it’s not free if I want to try it, but anyway, I guess I’m missing something with your method. If you used built-in ultra-edit macro, how can you use it with FM? Can you provide a little more insight on that?
