I do. And it does assign it a value of Nothing when I run the script. Thanks for the reply. I didn;t think anyone was reading it... So, I found the way to do it. Someone gave me the tip of settting the default Directory Source (which I didn't think was a great workaround). Here's a snipet...

Has anyone used the OpenWithBasicSignon Method to access a namespace on an LAE? Documentation: OpenWithBasicSignon Method - Opens an existing namespace on a directory server or local authentication export file by using a basic signon. Syntax: AuthenticatorDocuments.OpenWithBasicSignon...

Neil There are probably a number of options that can improve the performance of the report, but it will probably require a lot more Q&A to understand your reporting environment. If you think the performance problems is because of a lot of custom calcs, I can think of a couple of options: 1)...

Have you tried indexing on the date column in your date table? let's see part of the SQL. There are usually other ways of doing counts and optimizing joins. My guess is that the date table is joining to another large table?

Hi Neil- Can you tell us where the bottle neck is? 1)at opening of the report. 2)generating the sql for the report 3)execution of sql 4)retreival of information from database 5)display of data on the Here are some crude ways of telling above: 1) how big is the imr? 2) go to Query Data ->...

It wasn't that big of an issue for me, so I did not contact them. I know that previous versions worked, and I will soon be trying out 7.1. I can let you know if that resolves the problem.

I think what Goodnice is saying is the last "modified date/time" for IWR report objects in Upfront are not being updated when the report is modified and re-published(?). I'm experiencing the same problem with version 7.0 MR2 of IWR and Upfront.

I think I ran into this problem a while back with 7.0 MR1. It was on a mixed environment: Server on Unix, Report Administrator on Win2K. Now if I can only remember how I got it to work... I know I've gotten it to work on an all windows environment at another client site. My feeling is that...

FYI, I also have seen this problem on customer sites and also use a batch file to make sure all services start.

I believe the control you are looking for is "Retrieve on the required rows" flag. Unchecking this should bring all the rows to the machine that is running impromptu. *The problem is that will still take hours to run the report and probably will kill your computer and the network in...

How are you trying to start it? which interface are you using: Config Mgr?, Upfront Server Admin? Windows Services Control Mgr? Are you talking about logging into upfront? I think you need to add some more info, however a namespace error suggests that Netscape Directory Server (NDS) wasn't...

Hmmm. I'm out of my area of expertise when it comes to firewalls, however, wouldn't external users still not be able to see anything on the internal report server - because the ip-adress is internal? Even if it is forwarded, I don't think ppl external to the intranet can see it, because they...

Assuming (from your description) that: 1) web server outside (ip=167.x.x.x): refers to only a webserver that does not have any Cognos-related products, and 2) report server inside (ip=192.x.x.x): refers to where you installed the IWR & Upfront dispatcher, datastore, and gateways, and 3) the...

I haven't done an IWR w/ Firewall installation for awhile, however I know that it works. What are your symptoms?

I played around with NoticeCast (NC) almost a year ago. Yes, you can setup rules with Powerplay (and I guess Query) as well as with the NC Authoring tool. You can think of the two methods in two ways: 1) End-Users: use Powerplay via upfront to create Agents that will alert them whenever a...

Hey all- Does anyone have an advanced install of Cognos IWR, Powerplay, and Noticecast? I am planning an install of a Datawarehouse (DW) and the following: Gateway IWR, Gateway Powerplay, Gateway Noticecast IWR Server, Powerplay Enterprise Server, Noticecast Server, Powerplay Transformer...

Hey- Does anyone where the toolbar settings for Impromptu version 7.X (such as Standard, Format, and Layout) are stored? It used to be in the IMPROMPTU.INI file for version 6.X. I'm guessing it might be in the registry now? Thanks, G

Maybe you should look into using NoticeCast.

Mike- I'm glad that you added that "If you need to create a macro to do this, you might review the help file on TransferText." This made my search for documentation a lot easier! Marking this post as a helpful/expert post.

I just wanted to second that the OLAP Report is a very good resource as it is less biased than going to a BO or MicroStrategy or Cognos website for comparison.
