How about someone list out some cool features that are possible using the ReportNet SDK?

How much space do we have ?

Kidding aside, you can do everything you can dream up.

Does anyone have any practical examples of some relatively simple things you've done with the SDK?  It may be difficult for some of us to dream anything up if we don't have a starting point.

Further, is there some type of "Getting Started" document somewhere for the SDK?

A good starting point are the samples that come with the SDK.

Ah... nice.  That's the kind of example I'm looking for.  Thanks.

We are using the SDK to automatically deploy archives and to monitor the running status of the content manager service.  We are looking to use the SDK to deploy Web Services that our Java/.NET apps can make use of.  Things like passing in a user and getting back a list of available reports.

* put Searchpath back to the report, when you delete connected package
* copy default-user values (security, portaltab) to target-user
* insert user from LDAP into cognos roles
* read configuration from different environments and compare
* have a trigger fired to deploy backup and then deploy some content
* for the quality-gate
: validate a large amount of reports as quality gate
: run PDF-export large amount of reports with default or specific parameters as quality gate, record time running to show improvements
: export all SQL-Statements from reports for documentation
: export all XML-Specs from reports for documentation and backup
* run PDF-Export on certain packages/reports on different platforms to compare execution times

and one question:
* does anybody know how/where to get "schedule/job/trigger" information - history, status, details of a executed - via SDKjob/trigger?
