Just wanted to report that it took almost 2 weeks for them to find the root cause of the problem within Report Studio, and it was a table in the content manager database that must be manually updated to get current data. I hadn't put enough info here for anyone to help. The cognos8 report...

The database is our live accounting database, and it's 100% current. This could be one of the more frustrating pieces of software I've ever dealt with!

After bumbling through the setup, we are now testing sample and canned reports. The samples are working great, but I'm having a problem seeing *current* data in the canned reports provided to us (actually Deltek Performance Manager reports). I can look at 2007 data all day long, but when I...

Wow Paul! I wish I could work where you do! Experience has only gotten me so far in life, and without a continuing education learning new technologies and trends so I can keep up with recent graduates, I would be left far behind with my University of The Streets degree. I started at a...

Whew, I was worried someone was advertising for a wife under 12. [pig]

When I lived in Houston, I would sit in traffic and dream of the fantasy bumper sticker launcher that I would someday attach to my front bumper. It would shoot two different stickers at various 4-wheeled targets: 1. I brake frequently and for no apparent reason 2. Minivan Commando: Warning...

Hey now, we night owls forced into daytime hours aren't deviants! <grin> After years of banging on various types of machines I have found some of the best technical support works at night. They're bored, and if the phone rings they'll just about jump through hoops to help out. With a 24/7...

First off, I'm baffled with all of this. Please excuse what may appear to be really dumb questions. I'm not a DB expert or a report writer, I'm just an admin doing an install of a report manager using Cognos8. One of the things installed is Cognos 8 BI Metric Modeling v 8.3 (Metric Designer)...

I've been leery about LinkedIn since their inception, especially considering I get webmaster@, administrator@, all generic titles @ my company, and I get tons of spammy "join my network" emails from Linked in. Some people find great use for it, but, if I need a real, true, bonafide expert, I...

It's fairly simple: if you don't want your references contacted right off the bat, don't put them on your resume. It's easy to put "References upon request" on your resume instead, then if someone asks for them before you've even been spoken to about a job, it may give you a better indication...

Wow, here goes the "we hate recruiters" song again. It's the same one it always has been. Bad recruiters like some described above make it incredibly hard for the good ones to find quality candidates for sometimes quite high paying jobs. Recruiters often work directly for a client, but there...

OK so I've been AFK for a bit. Here's a few I made mental notes of while away: NOTURS (on a Lexus) and to counter it ALLMYNE (allmine taken?) Although Duke University is close by, why would you want DUKEY on your car? Also: HVEMRCY! (I just want a ! on my plate) CHRYBOMB NUTDRPR (what...

Open mouth, insert foot time... Over the weekend saw a little Lexus sports-something with PUTU2SLP. My mouth was open and speaking before I could stop it, and I asked the driver "that boring to drive huh?". Hubby couldn't stop giggling.

An FYI.... B harps are "bow harps", and are still used in blues and zydeco music (and maybe other stuff but I dunno). Today I saw a brown junker with "GOLLUM" on the license plate. I'll give you all 3 guesses what the driver looked like, and the first two don't count.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083399/quotes (ring ring) "Cheers. Ok, wait a minute, I'll check. Is there an "Ernie Pantusso" here?" "That's YOU coach." "Speaking." Have fun!

As soon as I think of a good comeback, I'll let you know.

This subject was just on one of the morning shows today. "Reasonable" can logically be considered the median between steaming and freezing, and I would say that it somewhere in the 70-80 F range (21 - 27 C). Is the AC broken? The temps you are working in are reasonable for cowboys, cable...

I thought of a new vanity plate that I want: NO U

I spent Saturday giggling about the little red BMW Whatchamacallit (not sure what it was), with the most descriptive plate it could have: CLOWNSHU When we pulled up along side of it, it looked exactly like a clown shoe.

Have some of us simply jumped the shark, with the shark being the drastic changes in technology happening between 1995 and 2005? Now that things are settling down a bit for office systems (unless you're stuck with a new CRM or ERP system), have jobs turned into maintenance positions instead of...
