Hi,

I have a report called "Sales". This report is run once a month by a scheduled job and sent by email in PDF format. My users want to have the month of the data to be shown in the filename, for example "Sales_201901" for the January execution "Sales...

I am facing a date pattern issue in my reports. The requirement is to show date as DD-MMM-YYYY:HH:mm:ss in 24 hours format. Now whenever my date is 31-DEC-YYYY and time is 00:00:00, report studio adds 1 in the year.
Ex - my date in table is 31-DEC-999...

Hi,

Are you using custom authentication through CAP code?
We were facing similar issue, we have to change our Dispatcher URI's for Gateway, point to bi/v1/disp and not to p2pd/servlet.
And we made changes in Dispatcher URI for external applications too...

Hi Team,

Can some one help with Customer Sizing document for Cognos v11.0.13?

The document shared by IBM is for v11.1 and not v11.0.13

Thanks!

This appears to be the same question I saw on Stack Exchange.

Thanks, Chris for responding. I was using the wrong use value in the prompt and that's the reason it was throwing an error before. I changed it and there is no error.
The main problem here is other than the default value no matter what I select from th...

Are you saying you have a Date table that looks something like this?

Date	WeekDayName	BusinessDay	Holiday

Hello,
I am trying to burst the cross tab report by placing it inside a list report. When I generate as csv, it is generating as blank csv files while pdf and excel is working fine.
Is there any reason why csv files are blank?

Thanks,

Thank you kindly for the reply MF.

Hi,

When you create a Schedule what is sending a mail to people, the schedule 'reply' mail address is the same as the creator of the Schedule.
Is there a way to put a 'team' mail address so when users are using the reply on the mail it will sent to a g...

All,

Last week I had a meeting with a local IBM Cognos consultant who told me to not use Active Reports anymore.
I was a little suprised about this, but he told me IBM wants to 'disable' this capability.

Does anyone heard the same story or is this stor...

Have you tried use an if or a case statement to change the value of the date, for explample adding 1 second, in that case?

I'm a little confused here. The red label you wrote is on a crosstab spacer. Intersections are the fact cells.

Set up the crosstab the way you want, with the calculation appearing for male/female. Select the intersection between the total row and the s...

I have also heard the same. There are no plans to continue working on it, and when browsers drop support for MHT that will be the end.

Once the owner of Active Reports left IBM I think they just abandoned the tool. Personally I hope they wise up, activ...

Hey,

I ran into the same issue. What I ended up doing was creating one chart that had the drill down capability and the rest of them didn't have the hierarchy in it. That way when you drill down and select the year / quarter / month the rest of them ...

Hi CognosPaul,

Thanks for youw reply.

Hum, I do agree with you, Active-Reports are there for a special end-user group and they love it.
Would be sorry when IBM really discontinue the capability.....

There are users for this capability out there.

If I understand correctly, the rows represent employees and the report is a comparison of the utilization of the employees versus a standard hour metric. One employee, let's call him smegi, has nulls for two months in a quarter.

The first question I'd...

Yep, I also heard there are no plans to develop the Active Reports technology any further. I suspect they will be a part of Report Authoring for a good while, though. I can’t see them being deprecated any time soon. As Paul suggests, I imagine it will ...
