Run or Save an Active Report
You can run an active report in HTML format or save it as a MIME HTML (MHT) file so that you can send the report to your consumers. MHT files are viewable in the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
Before you begin
To view an active report in MHT format in Mozilla Firefox, you must first download an UnMHT add-on.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, you cannot open an active report in MHT format as a file. You can view the report only by using a URL.
If an active report contains an extensible visualization, and you are using Internet Explorer 9 or 10, you must have Microsoft Silverlight 5 installed on your computer.
About this task
To assist you in resolving problems when you are authoring an active report, a run option that shows the state of active report variables in the report as you click various controls is available. By default, this option is enabled.
Active reports require the same web browser settings as Report Studio.
Procedure
- To disable the run option that can show the state of active report variables when the report is viewed, from the Run menu, click Run Options, and clear the Enable right-click debug menu check box.
- To run a report, from the Run menu, click Run Active Report.
- To save a report, from the Run menu, click Download Active Report, and when prompted, choose to save the report as an MHT file.
Results
Tip: The
right-click debug menu is not available if you run the report from IBM® Cognos® Connection.
