Our company is evaluating the BO Analytic Applications and were shown their Encyclopedia product, which looks really great. It allows us to see information about a column in a report and see where that data actually came from in our Oracle ERP. We have Webi now and are curious if this product...

The Qualify More/Less option should help you out. If you can't get any more info than you need Oracle synonymns(?) can be used to help you out, I believe.

Even if Impromptu could do it by itself, the performance would be so poor that you would dump it anyway. Cognos Query...

Verify that your DN and port # are setup correctly (the same as the server's).

Unless you want to convert to text and arrange them in the order you want - no, unfortunately.

The logging options should be in the Preferences (I believe).
