This documentation assumes that the Windchill Business Reporting (WBR) solution (i.e. Cognos) has been successfully installed and configured. The Windchill instance name is referred to as <WindchillInstanceName>. The Cognos root URL is referred to as <WBRHomeURL>. Typically, if the WBR solution is installed on <WBRHost>, then the <WBRHomeURL> would be http://<WBRHost>/Cognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi. It is assumed that you can login to <WBRHomeURL> and you have sufficient Cognos privileges to view Windchill Data Source objects and create reports.

Assume you have access to the Windchill server JSP directory, <WindchillHome>/codebase/wtcore/jsp, to create the JSP input page <MyInputPage> in its associated sub-directory <MyInputPagePackage>.

Assume you have access rights to edit an existing Windchill Report object, <MyReport> in the Site context.
