I do not believe you should create a surrogate key for the fact tables. Scott Gaffney Information Technology Consultant Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Management Information Systems

I have had a few folks tell me that Envisn does a nice job documenting Cognos catalogs, reports, models, etc. I was wondering if anyone out here has used their products and would care to comment. You all know how tedious it is to do documentation, so we are looking for a company that does it...

I suspected that they would be pricey, but how much, in time and money, would we spend documenting this on our own? Scott Gaffney Information Technology Consultant Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Management Information Systems

I checked them out and they might meet our needs. Is anyone out there using the Envisn products and care to comment?

Does anyone have what they believe to be ideal Transformer Model documentation out there? We would like to come up with a standard requirements gathering document from which we could create models and then create a document which explains what we did to create the model. We have tried a number...

We are new to ReportNet and are used to the file-based components of Cognos (Impromptu and PowerPlay) and are looking looking for some guidance on how to move work from Development through Testing to Production. For example, we have created a catalog and an IMR in the Source folder within the...

We have a requirement here to remove references to Cognos in Upfront and ReportNet. Has anyone done this out there and, if so, how difficult is it? Scott Gaffney Information Technology Consultant Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Management Information Systems Bureau of Strategic...

You've got that right. We have done a few things here and I was told today by Cognos that I should submit something I have done recently to SupportLink and try to get it published. I am sure many folks out here have done some outstanding things with scripting that I, and I am sure others...

That would be cool because we have all done so much scripting that someone probably has already thought of something that someone else wants to do but maybe does not know how. Let's hope people are forthcoming with the scripts because this could be very valuable to many folks here and it would...

Sure does. How does something like that get established? Scott Gaffney Information Technology Consultant Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Management Information Systems Bureau of Strategic Systems Development Information Delivery Section Client Delivery Unit 4200 East 5th Avenue...

Is there a place where we can access scripts that we in the Cognos community have developed? If there is not, I think it would be nice to create one because we have all scripted some things that might be really helpful to others. Scott Gaffney Information Technology Consultant Ohio Department...

Oh, well, that doesn't help me speak against it. I guess I need to find other reasons not to move to Unix. Thanks for the info, and if you can help me think of reason not to do it, please share them. Scott Gaffney Information Technology Consultant Ohio Department of Job and Family Services...

Thanks for the info, DoubleD. I keep hearing "stable" and "performs very well", but yet I cannot put my finger on what exactly about what folks are talking when they say this. Are they talking Unix or Cognos running on Unix? I think of an example in our environment where we have a quad...

We have been tasked to look at moving from a Windows environment to Unix (Solaris) for all of our Cognos components. We have Upfront, IWR, PPES (all are 7.1 MR1) and are just now starting to deploy ReportNet 1.1. I would like to know from anyone experienced in both, who is willing to share...

This is not the only report that pegs out a cpu in the server. It almost seems like most, if not all, do it at some point in the process. I have noticed it on three different servers with different reports. I certainly do not think we should have to buy enough servers with enough processors...

This is in reply to griffindm's post. We are running IWR 7.1 MR1 on a Proliant ML570 G2 with 8 GB RAM and 4 1.5 GHz processors and are constanly getting pegged out on processor with IWRs. We are running Windows 2000 and you state that there are no issues with Windows 2000, so I am puzzled. I...

It might be timing out in the Interactive Queue. Maybe you need to increase the number of Interactive processes.
