Only BIRT (rptdesign) and RPE (dta) report resources can be uploaded from the Eclipse Client.
Cognos Report Resources must be configured using the Reports WEB User Interface. Please use the "Create Resource from Custom Report" action from the Report Resources page.
Creating a Resource from a Custom Report will not let you upload Cognos reports to the jazz server, it will just let you link in to already deployed Cognos reports from the Cognos Report Server.
Cognos reports are not stored in files, in the same way BIRT creates the .rptdesign file. Cognos stores the report definitions in the Content Store database. This database is set up when you installed Insight. Cognos uses it for all its internal information, not the file system like BIRT, so there is no Cognos equivalent to the .rptdesign.
When you are creating an RTC report template, RTC is asking you to select the Cognos report it should use. I believe it can give you a list of the report defined in Cognos for you to select from.

Many thanks for the reply.
hi Ravinder
I sent an email to people on the RTC team who should be able to describe how to set up these reports in RTC in more detail. Have you checked the Info Center documentation, as the process is described there.
