Hi,

I was told that Cognos 11 can work with TM1 10.2 so I guess you do not need any list since it does not matter.

According to the Supported Environments pag...

Hi all,

I've encountered a strange bug in Chrome (latest Version 67.0.3396.99 ). If I open a package in Report Studio, I see all the namespaces, query subjects etc., just like you would normally do.
I've left the window open and published a new packag...

Hi :-)

we just set up an MsSQL Data Source in the CA configuration. The test is successfull. In the Framework Manager we can import a table (we also can see all columns), but we are unable to receive Data. It fails every time. We installed the latest D...

The user shall only select month M from t...

Cognos 10.2.2

I'm looking for a report studio function similar to Oracle's ORA_HASH.

Is there a function in report studio that will allow me to create a hash value?

What's a hash value? (Anyone that gives me an answer in £s per ounce will be made to stand in the naughty corner!)

I am trying to create a customer search report. Often times users will have need to search for a name like 'Johnathan Smith-Doe', and the record in the database will be 'John Smith'. They need the flexibility to add wildcards before or after (or both) ...

A member has a couple of intrinsic properties, caption and code. When you make a calculated member, you can define the code and caption.

member(
expression
, code
, caption
, hierarchy
)

In this case func is now both the code and caption. If ...

A hash is, usually, a numeric value that encodes a string based on a seed value. The expression and seed should always resolve to the same value.

In this case I'd try to use the ORA_HASH from Oracle. What happens when you try to use it? Cognos will occ...

Is this relational or dimensional? CQM or DQM?

At the end of the day a parameter selected from a prompt is an object you can work with. If it's a dimensional source you could just do prevmember(#prompt('M','mun')#). If it's relational, I'd recommend us...

I'm not sure - is there a way I can find out? I'm a lowly analyst

In the expression editor, click on the macros tab and expand the Macro Functions folder. Do you see the "simple case" function? If you do, you're on DQM and this is very simple. If not, it's CQM and we have to come up with a clever solution.

For some reason I whenever I paste snippets the post gets blocked. Take a look at the attached snippet. It works great for me, but it requires the package be set to DQM.

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to find some pros and cons or comparison between MS Power BI and Cognos. Our group is working on a comparison between these two products and I thought if someone knows some of the Pros for Cognos that are important to notice when c...

Hello,

CAR LISTING

CAR Repair Cost Maintenance Cost
BMW 2700 9255
6555

BENZ 3700 ...

Good Afternoon

Wondering if anyone know if it is possible to configure Cognos security with IBM IAM ?

Cant really find much on the web

Regards

Are you running Framework Manager as admin. If you are using drivers, make sure you are using DQM in FM

Hi,

sure, you have a column with the [car name] and one with the [repair cost] in your list. You now add a query calculation with following text:

total([repair cost] for [car name])

Hi,

I have more to do with Cognos and some with Tableau and only know Power BI from testing it a little so my pros / cons are not mentioning details and might be not up to date or probably wrong.

Power BI has a fat client which means every fat client m...
