Problem:  The map image does not appear in PDF and Excel 2007 report formats

【解决方案】
The recommended solution for this issue is to update to a version of IBM Cognos where the defect is fixed. If this is not possible, the following solution can be used to manually edit affected reports with an absolute path for the map image URL.


• Esri Maps for IBM Cognos 5.x and 6.x 1. Make a backup of the report prior to making changes.
2. Open the report in Report Studio.
3. Click on the Esri Map image.
4. Open the 'View' menu and select 'Page Structure'.
5. Expand 'Esri_Maps_Mode=STATIC' and 'Esri_Maps_Mode=STATIC_INTERNAL'


6. Double-click the image under 'Esri_Maps_Mode=STATIC' to open the Report Expression editor.
7. The expression definition contains two URL expressions that starts with '../em4c/', where the two dots '..' indicate a relative path. Replace the relative path indicators with the name of the IBM Cognos virtual directory preceded by a forward slash. For example, '../em4c/', should be changed to '/ibmcognos/em4c/'.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for 'Esri_Maps_Mode=STATIC_INTERNAL'.


9. Repeat steps 3-8 for each Esri Map in the report.
10. Save the report and exit Report Studio.
11. In IBM Cognos Connection, run the report as HTML.
12. Select 'View in PDF Format' or 'View in Excel 2007 Format'.
13. The map image should appear in the output report format.
• Esri Map for IBM Cognos 4.3.2 1. Make a backup of the report prior to making changes.
2. Open the report in Report Studio.
3. Click on the Esri Map image.
4. Open the 'View' menu and select 'Page Structure'.
5. Expand 'vip_more = STATIC' and 'vip_more = STATIC_INTERNAL'.


6. Double click the image under 'vip_more = STATIC' to open the URL Expression editor.
7. The URL expression for the map image starts with '../vantage/', where the two dots '..' indicate a relative path. Replace the relative path indicator with the name of the IBM Cognos virtual directory preceded by a forward slash. For example, '../vantage' should be changed to '/ibmcognos/vantage'.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for 'vip_more = STATIC_INTERNAL'.


9. Repeat steps 3-8 for each Esri Map in the report.
10. Save the report and exit Report Studio.
11. In IBM Cognos Connection, run the report as HTML.
12. Select 'View in PDF Format' or 'View in Excel 2007 Format'.
13. The map image should appear in the output report format.

Manual changes to the map image URL(s) must be repeated after editing the map in Esri Maps Designer.


After converting the URL to a hard-coded path, the URL(s) for the map image(s) must be updated if the report is moved to an environment that uses a different name for the IBM Cognos virtual directory.
