Using a Page ID Instead of the Object Search Path

Instead of the search path, you can also specify the object's page ID using the following cognosLaunch parameters. 
"ui.object","storeID('storeID')

If you are using the parameterized URL method Parameterized URL Method, you can specify the object's page ID using the following m_page parameter format, where page ID is the object's page ID:

m_page=[page ID]

The ID appears as an unseparated series of characters. For example,

i80E9B692820A4F91B8655D4E84F292AF

To find the IDs, follow the instructions in Using Search Paths and Page IDs.

Deployment Considerations

References to deployment objects are based on search paths, not IDs. For a specific IBM® Cognos® Connection page, the object's page ID remains valid until the application's deployment mechanism transfers the original object to another IBM Cognos BI server. In the destination environment, all IDs are different. In such an event, you must map all ID references to the new IDs on the system.
