We are trying to determine whether there are any technical issues around running 8.3 FP5 with IE 8. I know that this is not a supported browser configuration but also am aware that other companies are running without problem. Generally, there are no problems - reports run, query studio edits...

Hello. We have a large number of user generated Powerplay views saved in Upfront. All versions are 7.4. We can publish cubes into C8 Cognos Connection (using PP Admin tool) and when opening them, it will launch PP Web explorer. This is required functionality because our userbase is not keen on...

Hello all. We're trying to unpack an Upfront 7.3 package that has gone from Solaris 8 onto Solaris 10. It unpacks correctly on another Solaris 8 box but gives a core dump on Solaris 10. We're wondering if anyone else has achieved this? Would be good to get some news if you have... Thanks

hello all. We're running the upgrade process on our content. The pack in 7.1 works fine and we have been able to upgrade it. However, when attempting to unpack we have hit problems. We use Solaris 8 servers and the unpack has been running for 3 days and appears to be 25% done. Cognos have...

Hello all. We are currently using Series 7.1 Cognos apps that connect to Teradata V2R5.1 using the Teradata 3.03 ODBC driver. We're being made to jump through hoops by both vendors to upgrade to Teradata V2R6.1 In order to upgrade Teradata we need to be using the 3.05 ODBC driver. This is not...

Hello all. I've taken over a Cognos implementation and got a large deployment of users that are on PP version 7.1. I'm planning to migrate them to supported version 7.4 but there is resistance to the change because of the enhanced user interface. I believe there is a setting on PPES to switch...

Hello all. I've just taken on the task of migrating a large number of IWR entries from Upfront to Reportnet. I'm told that lots of the reports are no longer needed but ideally I'd like to identify (automatically) which entries have been used over the past 3 months and tie them back to the source...

Hi, wonder if anyone can help? I've been bursting reports with attachments for a while now. We have an SMTP relay set up and it has been working fine. Just recently though, it appears some mails have been trapped on our server and only released when it reboots. This has resulted in mail bursts...

I've been given the task of documenting an already built Universe. Is there a way, from client 5.1, of generating a report that contains details of the columns available for reporting. Thanks for any help. Trev

Hello all. Does anyone have a macro for PP that adds child categories to their parents in a nested crosstab? I am trying to get this going but am only achieving all children to all parents or all children to a single parent category. My alternative is to loop through each parent and then add...
