IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Rich text content not available in reports

The long description fields in the ICD can contain formatted content („rich text content“).
This content cannot be reported with Cognos.
The appropriate cognos tool for this kind of data would be the Rich Text element but these elements support XHTML only.
(see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_10.2.2/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cr_rptstd.10.2.2.doc/c_rich_text_item_supported_elements.html#rich_text_item_supported_elements)

The ICD formatted content shows up in the PDF output of the report with the source code (including all format control characters) instead of the formatted content.

    Have you tried to wrap <html> tag around the rich text? It should then support most content.
