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.

The online books that come with the product are the best. There is a book out there for Impromptu, however it seems to be a "rewrite" of the online books (with some more detail) - I would save yourself the $.

Actually your not publishing the "cube" to Upfront, only a pointer to it, so the size really doesn't matter. In order to publish directly from PPES you will need to setup security in PPES and then you can publish it directly from there. As far as your other error is concerned, I would...

If you want it in PDF format you should create a PPX report that contains the data you want, and the put that into Upfront. When you export to PDF it exports everything by default, just as it would with export to CSV.

Check the Cognos website.

A content overview report should help you out.

Can you log in using the Administrator user?

ALso make sure your not reporting against a snapshot, if so the data won't refresh (select the camera icon to turn off the snapshot).

Sounds like you used the Netscape default. When you step through the Access Manager config, are you using those same parameters, or the ones that Cognos is defaulting to?

C.P. is correct, Hotfiles are the only solution, unless you want to leverage a database's gateway product to appear to have 1 database when it will combine the 2 or more for you. 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.

Your Impromptu.ini file is only set to retrieve 100 rows of data (for Prompts). Up that to a higher number

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

In the Filter dialog box, select Eliminate Duplicate Rows.

If we are still talking PowerPlay Reporter, select the ROWS and then use the ADD option. It should add a new row which will total the column.

Sort of, using subreports. Unless you mean different databases, etc.

I am just one person, but the pricing sounds correct and the setup/administration is simple (in my mind). If you do invest in it, I would recommend paying the extra amount and having an experienced person set it up for you - that way you can ensure that it is setup right and they (should) leave...

If this is a Reporter Report the summary won't be there by default, so you will need to Add A Calculation (Add). If it is an Explorer report the summary will be there already.
