Converting CDD Reports to Cognos Analytics - Image Drill Downs

[sjohnson]

I have been tasked with converting a number of old CDD reports to Cognos Analytics (11.1.7). The process has gone well so far, except for image drill downs. I've found the data in the im_ files (im_page, im_index_data, im_info, im_index_mstr, im_index_dtl) but trying to roll my own solution from that seems kludgy and overly complicated.

How does one go about reproducing the image drill down functionality in 11.1.7?

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have come to realize that the CDD report format is unrelated to Cognos and is the purview of a different vendor's product. Whoops. Learning is happening.

If you've stumbled onto this post looking for a solution to the same problem, I suggest searching Central Square's community for "Cognos Reporting with Docs Online". The user Michael Webb has a document revised as recently as March 2025 that looks like it might help.
