Has anyone had luck with using Mozilla Firefox with Cognos8? I have been attempting to make it work. In Cognos Connection the "Report Studio" button does not appear, nor the "Query Studio". However, reports will run on the browser. Thanks for your help, Becky

The above issue has been resolved. During the 'restore' I am now receiving this message: Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) Device activation error. The physical name 'C:\MSSQL7\DATA\GOHR.mdf' may be incorrect. File 'GORH_dat' cannot be restored to 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\GOHR_log.mdf' Use...

Ohhhh I really thought that was the answer. At the very last step I receive the message: "RESTORE DATABASE must be used in single user mode when trying to restore the master database. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally." I know very little about SQL Server (which is probably very...

Could someone explain to me how to add the sample databases included in the crn directory "webcontent\samples\db" to SQL Server? In the ReportNet Quick Start and Installation Guide (page 15) the instructions state "Step 2. If required, copy the backup files for the sample databases to your...

Does anyone have, or know where I can locate a configuration guide for Cognos Series 7? Specifically, I'd like a guide with "pictures" as management doesn't want to read specifics, just visualize where everything should be installed. I've read the installation guide on the cognos site, but...

Hello all, eTrust is being used as our security and we are working on creating an Option within eTrust that will update the ldap for Cognos Access manager (we only want to enter user, user settings in eTrust). With cubes and reports in Upfront, is this all we should be concerned about accessing...

Does anyone know where I can read about or do they have info about Cognos on AIX? Specifically, I'm looking for info on flat files, cube builds. I'm new to AIX and need all the information I can get. Thanks in advance for the help! ~Becky

There's a few additional steps with 7 (Cognos Tech support has mentioned that, but we are waiting for documentation). My main concern (because our datastore has become correct several times) is in regard to IWR and Upfront. Thanks

We are trying to establish and document our backup procedures for Cognos 7 .... across multiple servers. We currently have what Cognos has published but it is only for single server environment. Does anyone know the additional steps to back up 7? Thanks in advance, ~Becky

Thanks. We experienced the same problems with 6. I was hoping that 7 would allow multiple publishers. It's only a remote chance that more than 1 is publishing at the same time to the Test environment and never more than 1 on our Prod. I was trying to develop a list of what is known to cause...

Anyone using the Upfront Admin tools?

Anyone?

I have received the same error. I took the following steps then republished: 1. Verified prompt report opened correctly in Impromptu 2. Verified database signon 3. Verified the "Map All User Classes to:" was checked and the correct user class was identified in the catalog. (In my...

Thanks for replying; I was hoping it'd be fixed soon! :) ~BeckyBoop

I have multiple reports using the 'in' variable as a prompt. The report runs correctly in Impromptu (7), the prompt variables are displayed correctly in the header, but when I publish the reports to Upfront, they do not display the prompt variables in the heading. I have re-designed 2 of the...

Any one know (or have tested) effects of multiple people publishing reports at the same time? We were told our datastore was corrupt. We have restored our datastore multiple times. One of the 'suggestions' as to why our datastore keeps becoming corrupt, is the possibility of multiple users...

When our IT department 'restored' our corrupt datastore, the IWR Report Administration structure (report sets) were wiped clean. However, the reports still showed in Upfront, in their respective folders. Is there a way in Upfront to delete all the reports in a folder (without deleting the...

I have a report I've posted to the web that uses the "in" prompt. However, when the report is posted, the prompt variables don't show up in the heading (as they do in Impromptu). Any suggestions? Thanks, Becky

And I'd like to thank you all for the suggestions and assistance. Without you and this forum, I'd have many frustrating hours (it's obvious I've been away from developing for a while!) Thanks everyone and have a great weekend. [wavey3]

Thanks for the suggestions! Dave, the example you gave helped tremendously. My days are now pulling in exactly how I need them. However, I'm not sure how you mean to use "the position function twice, once to determine the location of the strings 'H' or 'M', and again to determine where...
