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...

In the event that anyone else ever has to do this...our findings: 7.1 --> 7.3 on Solaris 8 works. 7.3 is claimed supported on both Solaris 8 and Solaris 10. It core dumps when running both UpfUpgrade and UpfUnpack. 7.1 Solaris 8 --> 7.4 Solaris 10. Works for UpfUpgrade. We are using Solaris...

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. We're trying to find a way to identify troublesome queries in Teradata through the SQL generated. I've built a report with a text column that identifies in string form hardcoded who has run it. A more flexible approach would be to use the report expression function for ReportName() or...

You can do this by inserting a Block between them (assuming that you have some kind of frame or table in place)

Hello all. We've got 7.1 versions of Upfront, IWR and PPES currently. I'm working to upgrade them to something supported but wanted some real world experiences of versions co-existing. I'd like to upgrade Upfront and IWR to 7.3 so that we can apply the DST patches. Powerplay is a pain because...

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

Yes, you must download the latest version. Windows XP was not supported until MR1 of Impromptu 7.

Nice one. Happy to help out.

Impromptu will print to the default printer associated with the logon. What is the value of reccount being returned? Regards, Trev

Set up a command line like c:\Program Files\Cognos\cer2\Bin\Impadmin.exe (space) c:\myfile.imr,"String prompt|2001-12-31" Regards, Trev

Hi Naveen. You are going to have to get hold of the later version. Contact your supplier and ask them to arrange the shipment. Regards Trevor

Hi The problem is the version that you are using. Replace the "CognosImpromptu" (series 7 syntax) with the earlier "Impromptu" syntax

Hi! Scheduler itself cannot handle the dependencies needed here. However, you could schedule a macro that would. What would be the trigger for the reports to run? If it was a physical file produced, the macro could check for the existence of it and then run the required reports. Alternatively...
