Converting report studio reports from Cognos 8.1 using DB2 to 8.4 using teradata. Noticing same reports and basic table/view structure are slower on teradata. Anyone know of any tuning settings to pay attention to or adjust? Afinity settings have been set accordingly, have tried to set up...

Cognos 8.4. We have 8-10 user defined groups that are mapped to our ldap groups (the group's members point to the ldap defined group). Out of nowhere, the groups members were reset or deleted. They all were cleared at the same time. Anyone know what or how all our groups could be reset like...

Cognos 8.4. We just had a situation where Cognos shut down, upon investigating we saw that the Cognos Configuration had been completely wiped out - it appeared most if not all of the settings were reset to default values. Any idea how could happen or what logs to possibly check? We have audit...

Understood, however it has been working that way for the last 7 months, and it worked fine in development, it was only when exporting to qa that all of sudden its slow. Another change completely unrelated to "customer is not null" is the reason for the export. As I mentioned I have been through...

No I don't believe it is a caching problem - it is consitantly slow in the new envrionment. Case in point this last time I moved up to qa environment, the report was slow in the new environment - process of elimination, one query seemed to be the culprit, and specifically changing a filter...

Quirky, inconsistant problem: On occasion when making a change to a report studio report in our "development" environment it will run/work fine. Upon exporting the report out of dev and into our "qa" environment the report will run much slower (i.e. few seconds to few minutes). I can usually...

I am relatively new to writing reports using a .mdc and absolutely cannot figure out, nor find much detail help on "exactly" what and where I need to do to setup a simple Prompt Filter using a cube. I have developed and used cubes via old version 7 and a little with/using Analysis Studio, but...

We are having problems with getting the email option in Cognos. We setup the SMTP server in Cognos Config. In our development environment it works fine. In our staging environment, we can email a message and include the link to the report, but when selecting to attach the report, the email...

JP, Yes, we were running into some affinity errors, however the developers made some changes to the reports (I don't know exactly what) that seemed to eliminate the errors. Performance is so-so at best and sometimes worse than others. We're still on MR1 though. We are running Cognos on...

What is a "tarball"? We have had some affinity errors and performance issues with MR1. We are in the process of getting to MR2, but is a slow process here (gov't). We did make some changes to the application (Report Studio reports) that has helped the affinity errors, although I don't know...

OK - I am getting somewhere. Query Studio capability permissions = Query Users User Jim permissions = himself and Query Users role I thought this would be sufficient for setup - Query Studio requires Query Users role and Jim has Query User role permissions. Once I set Jim as a "member' of...

I've checked the tools/capabilities and Everyone is not there for any of the studios. I've tried taking all roles off a studio and nothing. I think there is an option there to "Disable this entry" (or something like that) and that doesn't seem to do anything. As for editing the system.xml...

Thanks, but nope, that's not it. I found and was able to take the studios from the title bar using an option in the URL and/or editing the system.xml file. But I want to control it via user logins/permissions. I have tried all kinds of combinations of grant/deny and/or groups/roles... I can...

I am having trouble setting up Cognos Connection to disable the "studios" from users. Basically just want them to be able to run the reports the devlopers put out there. I have Cognos knowledge base that tells me to remove the group "Everyone" from Authors, Directory Administrators, Report...

Anyone know if this upgrade is a uninstall/reinstall or load MR2 on top of existing MR1? Documentation says uninstall/reinstall, couple consultants we have here say load on top - but kind of hesitate when I show them the documentation...

I believe there might some example script files included with Cognos(?)... but the command to actually build the cube should be something like this... exec $COGNOS_HOME/rsserver -c -p Current_Status.pyi -F /usr/cognos/apps/xyz/xyz_preferences.ini all one line. We have a script file that sets...

Actually, Cognos can/does read the groups that are setup in the Tivoli ldap (we knew this because it was working in our test and production systems)... and there was something that was preventing them from showing up in Cognos Connection. There was a typo or incorrect setting in one of the...

Well, that's a good question... I didn't do the development... however, no where can I find from Cognos that says you should only have 1 cube per package, but nor can I find where it says it's OK to have more than 1. I am relatively new to 8 (but have 10+ years of prior Cognos), but it would...

I think we found the culprit... not sure if it is a Cognos problem or the way it works yet. We have 2 cubes in the package. One of the cubes seemed to have a problem and did not build in the Unix environment... so this one cube that wasn't available (exist) where it was supposed to, broke all...

We have a peculiar problem... we have Dev, PreProd, and Prod environments. The developers did some updates to a package that consists of a few Report Studio Reports and two cubes... nothing major to anything. Developers develop in Dev-Windows. Then export the package and give to us. We...
