In cognos configuration manager on the server that you have IWR installed there is an area where the adinistrator password is configured. It is seperate from access manager.

[morning] We are some way into a Cognos development project that is now coming into the usual issues of version control and progression of source through Dev - UAT - Prod. We use a number of cognos products which include: Decisionstream, Transformer, Impromptu, IWR, Powerplay, PPES and are...

Mimsaholic, thanks for your idea. It has plenty of merit. We have an issue where we have a manual workforce who use mims, but do not have windows userids. They tend to share a workstation with the workgroups admin staff. Utilising LDAP security in these cases would cause too many dramas with...

We are currently in the throws of converting to Ellipse and facing the decision as to whether we use Ellipse advanced security or Unix Host security. We have used host security in the past, but have found that there may be difficulties with passwords while using the MUI client. The problems...

Hi, Check other details about the invoice. Does it total a positive value? If not negative cheques are not able to be created. In this case the MSB289 will set the status to paid, but the cost account will be reduced by this amount. This is the only obvious thought I have on this. Paul.

Thanks for you responses, Since I posted this thread I have discussed it with a number of Mincom technical gurus. Our main problem is that we are using Mincom TP and this functionality is not available with this. Apparently Tuxedo allows the functionality with different but not all TP -...

At our site we use the Samba product. What Samba allows us to do is share Unix directories across a windows environment seamlessly. A user is then able to access their files in the Unix directory after setting up a drive mapping in Windows explorer. Samba shares can be set up secured to a...

Moekti, Archiving provides limited benefits for performance unless you are doing a lot of queries that do not use 'Key' searches, requiring full table scans for the information. The other benefits are with saving of disk space, but this woiuld only be a benefit if you have hardware / budget...

GBell The problems I am having are with tasks that are in the Update and Online streams. I am having problems finding the code that should manage the error handling. Maybe it is an environment specific problem. Any ideas anyone?

I have a problem trying to use this subtask in our unix system. The documention states that there are three options to use if the file that is being checked for is missing (-error [ABORT](NEXT)[CONTINUE]). This functionality does not appear to work for us as the process creates an 'ABORT'...

Does anyone out there use Unix level access security with the newer MIMS UI's (e.g. MIMSMui). The issue we are seeing is how can a user change passwords via the UI when the Unix password is due for expiry. One thought was to return to MIMS security for user administration, but management /...

oz1 One program in recent time thet we changed (MSR600 - Used to take hours to run but now runs in minutes) had the changes passed back to Mincom and they made the changes to the standard program as well. This is not the norm though. There are others that are able to provide the requierd...

RDL like any other database access tool will cause problems if the way in which they are written cause the program to scan entire tables looking for results. The problem is intensified when the tables have a large number of rows increasing the number of IO's on the database. Typical OLTP...

Dave, What problems are you experiencing? Reporting RDL's or something else? I have used different Unix systema and there appears to be no major differences with Digital Unix. To print RDL's in Landscape you need to include the '-olandscape' option with the 'lp' command that is contained...

David, This issue was discussed at the recent conference held in Brisbane and it was going to be put to the design team for a resolution. This issue does not affect me but the Mincom contact that was going to push it through is Andrew Vellnagel (e-mail - Andrew.Vellnagel@mincom.com). He may be...
