Title: Set contact/e-mail of object?
Post by: CommandoCognos on 06 Aug 2012 06:47:43 AM

Hi,

I'm running into a problem with an IBM Cognos 8.4 SDK application where I plan to add a method to set the contact of any object from the Content Store. In Cognos Connection you can assign a user from the Directory Server or enter an E-Mail Address in the objects properties. I was successful in setting the Owner of a report for instance but I don't see any method for the contact (must be part of the account class !?). There are suitable PropEnums (PropEnum.owner/PropEnum.contact) for it but only the owner methods are obvious further on (get/set owner)...

Is there someone out there who can provide the approach for this? I'm an advanced SDK user but I get stuck finding the proper method.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Timm

Hi Timm,

you can set the contact for the report object with the setContact and setContactEMail methods

Code Select

 
r.setContact(Account)  // here 'r' is the report object and 'Account' is the Accountobject
// you can set the  contact email with
 StringProp contactEMail=new StringProp();
 contactEMail.setValue("Email Address");
 r.setContactEMail(contactEMail)  ; // here 'r' is the report object

Murali.
