Hello all, Right now I'm busy setting up a fresh installation of Cognos 8, before we migrate from Series 7.3. But I have some questions concerning how the security works in Cognos 8. We have some PowerCubes which are secured using the LDAP which came with version 7. For 8 we want to get rid...

Thanks mjcotter, found it there! (and it does indeed require to login to the site)

Where can I find this "sessionizer" tool? Somewhere on the cognos support site? I looked there, but couldn't find it... :(

We had something similar on our machine and it had something to do with user rights on OS level... (we have windows 2003) One of my colleagues changed of the settings, and now it works fine... Maybe you should look into that...?

As far as I know that's not a cognos error but an oracle error... Maybe you could ask this in the oracle forum?

You understand it correctly, Puppyquestion. I've had the same problem a week ago while going from a Windows 2000 to a new faster server running Windows 2003... I had the directory server set up the same way on the new as on the old, but then I got all these unauthorized cube errors. *sigh* And...

I think it's this one (I don't remember the exact date the drag'n'drop ceased working..): KB834707 It has something to do with an unknown source being able to execute malicious code on any xp machine with IE. If I understand it correctly this includes the executing of DHTML commands (which...

With a recent patch we had this drag'n'drop problem too, but with version 7.3! It had something to do with DHTML code being executed on an unknown, untrusted or insecure server/site. Adding the webserver/site to the list of trusted sites (internet explorer --> extra - internet options -...

Where can I get 6.2? Is there a site where I can download it? We just got 6.1 with our upgrade to V2R5...

Yes exactly, the custom view you create in transformer based on the user class is basically an automatic filter on Sales persons Id. So sales person 1 logs on, upfront takes the userclass of that person and based on that decides what the person can see in the cube. Sales person 2 with a...

We use something like that, but not on a user level but on user class level! With the user classes you can make custom views in transformer...

haha nice [tongue] imagine the cognos helpdesk saying: "It doesn't work? hmmmm Just reinstall it a couple of times, maybe then it'll work! Goodbye!" [thumbsup2][thumbsup2]

I had the same problem as you with powerplay not starting up anymore in the end. The error showed up, so I thought something went wrong with the installation. I removed it from my machine, reinstalled it, and then the error was gone, but transformer wouldn't start at all anymore! :) All that...

Hi group, when running a cognos impromptu report on our oracle 8i database it returns the following error, when 4 elements from "elm1" are selected (elm1 being a prompt) : DMS-E-GENERAL, A general exception has occurred during operation 'asynchronous open'. DMS-E-GENERAL, A general exception...

I once went to a product presentation from envisn, and it all looked nice, but it was waaaaay to expensive for us... But I don't have any "real" experience with their products.
