Our shop is currently on Cognos 7.3MR2 for Impromptu, Impromptu Web Reports, Powerplay, Powerplay Enterprise Server, and Upfront. Does anyone know of any plans by Cognos for an 8.X version of this series? Or is everything being shoehorned into a ReportNet type platform? Thanks!

We provide cube services and data for our division but as you know, often people can crosscut a cube's data and end up with very bizarre results if they don't know the underlying data. With that in mind, we want to add a disclaimer to our cubes basically saying, "THIS REPORT NOT REVIEWED BY XYZ...

Quick question. We have an existing cube that is secured on a DEVELOPMENT bed's directory server and want to move that cube over to a TEST bed's directory server, without having to rebuild the cube. Both the development bed and the test bed have a SunOne LDAP server, and both have the exact...

We're installing PPES 7V3 on a Win2K machine over MS Terminal Services (the physical servers are over an hour away from our location). The install goes great, until we try to apply the configuration in Configuration Manager, and the configuration fails to apply. We've also encountered the same...

I'm having to run a unit test for an integrated PPES/IWR/UPFRONT installation and need a quick URL for a tester to hit, independent of UPFRONT to show IWR is actually serving up a report. Anyone know of one? I know if you browse http://<servername>/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdsisapi.dll, that...

We have a couple of calculated columns in a normal Powerplay report (.PPR) that are dropping out after we save the report to .PPX format and published it to PPES. We do link the .PPX to the remote cube on PPES and can open the report after publishing and manipulate it. But any calculated...

We just installed Metrics Manager (MM) and Metrics Designer (MD). During the install, the MM manual indicated we needed to install the Apache Tomcat server installed with Cognos Web Services (CWS). And now, our services show two Tomcats running, one as "Cognos Metrics Manager Version 2 (Apache...

Older Cognos versions included Portfolio which allowed you to include multiple .PPRs in a single Portfolio for viewing. Two questions (knowing that Portfolio went away after Version 7.0): 1) Is there a way to replicate this type of functionality in the PP 7V2 client? 2) Is there a way to...

In Powerplay, I know you can save a model as either a .PY? or .MDL file. And I know that the .MDL version is ASCII that can be used for automating Transformer and can also be used to transfer cube models between versions of Transformer. So, the question. Other than what I listed above, is...

Has anyone had any experience with this tool? http://www.envisn.com/docuvisn.html It's called Docuvisn and supposedly will document your entire Cognos platform for you (getting documentation about our Cognos system has been tedious to say the least; configs, tables used, field calculations...

Forbes had a brief but interesting article on Cognos. Thought some of you might find this of interest. http://www.forbes.com/2003/07/23/cx_ld_0723cognos.html

<tt> We're currently running a IWR 6.0 installation and moving to IWR 7.0 w/Upfront. The problem: Currenty we publish reportsets to the IWR 6.0 server and, using IWR Report Administrator, copy a report from the reportset folder to another folder based on user classes. For example...

SCENARIO: A) IWR 7.1 running on an NT server. All report sources and sets on the server. B) IWR 7.1 Report Administrator running remotely on an NT workstation. C) Attempt to publish from report sources on A to report setarea on A using Report Administrator on B. D) We get the error...
