Working with Cognos reports

Developing services that use Cognos reports requires you to use SOAP headers, be aware of security requirements and keep track of the state of the report being retrieved. Cognos reports use the SOAP header to pass state between invocations, such as security between logon and report retrieval, or the state when looping on report retrieval. Cognos reports support single sign-on and logging on providing security credentials. Examples of how to work with Cognos reports are provided below.
