    New to ReportNet/SQL

    Check the crnserver.log for more info on whats happening - also double check the virtual directroies are correctly setup in your webserver. If using IIS 6 make sure you have either allowed all unknown CGI's (if using this interface), or you can tie it down more to the CGI used, but I don't have...

    Data Dump/Pivot Table Vs Cognos Report

    You could possibly do this, but you wouldn't want to. This sort of transformation should be carried out during an ETL process and handled at the database end, rather than any client product. Hope that helps =)

    dashbord reports

    ..or Cognos Metrics Manager, or even Reportnet depending on what your after =)

    Datetime to Date

    Kinda depends on what DB you are hitting - SQL Server is particularly creative in making this difficult. Usually you use the CAST function

    Powerplay 6.61 and Windows 2000

    Sorry, no more information. I know it exists as I have seen it myself, and also I have advised people to reduce it to zero in a number of cases and it has resolved memory problems. To test if it is, simply do as I said - reduce it to zero, and re-test the problem reports. It is definately not...

    Can cognos read a BO universe?

    Well, Reportnet takes catalog and BO universe information - might be worth a look.

    Powerplay 6.61 and Windows 2000

    There was a bug in the memory management in the UNDO function. This caused a memory leak which could cause crashes. Just a suggestion that may work =)

    Access Manager Error

    Are you logged in (OS password/login) as an administrator on the machine? Sometimes the permissions can cause this error if AM cannot read the registry correctly. Check with IT to see if they have patched, or secured the machine recently. Also, if doing it remotely - log on directly on the...

    Cube size problem

    This can be due to the way Transformer stores data. The current model of partitioning is used, which means after reading source records, transformer makes a number of discreet partitions to hold data. No dimensions can span partitions, so the smallest partition will be large enough to hold the...

    VBScript in Cognos - won't run &lt;CreateNewsItem&gt; - I need some help

    Well, good luck, but if the base newsbox IDs are different, you are hitting another version of Upfront somehow. Have fun in the sun, and keep us updated =)

    Powerplay 6.61 and Windows 2000

    Make sure your on RBF3 at least - 6.61 700 (Help/About) as this is the most stable version. Also, set your undo steps(properties) to zero, close the client, re-open it and then create and save the report. Only things I can think of, sorry =)

    VBScript in Cognos - won't run &lt;CreateNewsItem&gt; - I need some help

    Try not issuing the command, but simply print it to screen?

    VBScript in Cognos - won't run &lt;CreateNewsItem&gt; - I need some help

    You are correct - the parent id is what is found in the Upfront - newsbox/properties - newsbox ID. So, if you have hardcoded this, it makes no sense that it works on one machine, but not another. All you are really doing is sending the XML command via the URL - you could test just that line in a...

    VBScript in Cognos - won't run &lt;CreateNewsItem&gt; - I need some help

    There is something wrong with the <parent ID> value on your machine. Check the value that the variable is populated with on your machine, and compare to a working machine value. Something is making the difference on your machine, could be the VB version or OS version or service pack. With this...

    Impromptu Web COM Service won't start

    Right, well, the DCOM settings are certianly needed - you could check and explicitly name the user used for the 2 services. Also, you need the 'log on locally', 'act as part of the operating system' and 'log on as a service' rights for the account. Oh, and you have to be installing LOCALLY - no...

    Impromptu Web COM Service won't start

    You could try - 1. Shut down the object store services. 2. ** Back up the current DB files into another folder. 3. Remove the original DB files. (NOT the .adb files) 4. Restart the Object Store services. 5. Go to the \program files\cognos\cer1\bin directory and enter the following: iwcreatedb...
