Unable to add Template to Report Studio New Report dialog

Hello,

I have some problems trying to add a new report template to the New Report Dialog. Ive followed all the steps described in the documentation but when I click over new Report the new template the template is not available to select.

I follow these steps:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rentrpt/v1r0m1/topic/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.8.4.1.doc/ug_cra_i_27751CmoaadirplantillasdeinformespersonalizadasparaRe.html#i_27751CmoaadirplantillasdeinformespersonalizadasparaReportStudio

Have anyone the same problem? Any tip?

Thanks

The URL you provided doesn't works for me (HTTP404). I'm following this document to create new report template, everything works fine.

Hi jiangxuan

I can create a template but i can use it after that. In cognos connection is visible and accesible but i want that it appears on the "new Report Dialog" in report studio. Im not able to add a new kind of reports (such as blank, list, query, financial..)

thanks

Hello,
I assume you are looking at this URL:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rentrpt/v1r0m1/topic/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.8.4.1.doc/ug_cra_i_AddaCustomReportTemplatetotheTemplates.xmlFile.html#AddaCustomReportTemplatetotheTemplates.xmlFile

so question for you:
in the step1 of this topic: Add a Custom Report Template to the templates.xml File , it asks to open templates.xml which is located in : c8_location/webcontent/pat/res
are you opening the one in: <Insight_install_dir>/cognos/webcontent/pat/res?
Since Cognos web application is deployed on WAS, this one should be correct to change:
<Insight_install_dir>\AppServer\profiles\RationalReport\installedApps\<node_name>\IBM Cognos 8.ear\p2pd.war\pat\res\templates.xml
and remember to re-start WAS before it becomes effective.
