Hi,

We haven't heard about such an report before, but the easiest way to check if Ranorex fits all your needs would be to downland our free trial version and test if it is suitable for you, here is the link to the download page: Free Trial.
If you have any additional questions do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the reply.

Cognos is a report generating tool by IBM. I am trying to do a feasibility and check if Ranorex supports them. Im not able to get a sample Cognos report to check. Let me try!

Thanks,

I checked the feasibility, and found that Ranorex does not support the reports generated from Cognos. The elements are not identified. :(

Hi,

Did you try to add it to the GDI Capture list as described in the following link: Automation of Legacy Applications with the GDI Capture Plug-In?
Can you also send us a Ranorex Snapshot file of the elements you want to track?
This will allow us to analyze the issue more detailed.
Following link will show you how to generate a snapshot file:
Creating Ranorex Snapshot Files
