    Windows or Unix

    Uh...You all know you even with FrameWork Manager running only on Windows you can publish to ReportNet on Unix right? I'm doing it now. No problems. Unix is the bomb as far as stability goes. Performance - well x86 processors have certainly closed the gap. A lot of it depends on what...

    Rollup of Counts

    This is just one of 'what do you expect to see, you're comparing apples to microwave ovens' problems. You have one order, but five items. You want to count how many times each item was ordered. Each item was ordered once. But you want a grand total at the Product Line level that says 'one...

    Dynamic renaming of folders in Framework manager model

    I'm not certain why you'd want to change the names of the Framework manager folders dynamically. You'd constantly be rewriting all reports that use those folders because they would no longer validate due to not being able to find the folder they are from (well only after you publish). You're...

    Server cannot find Primary request

    We have a few complex reports that when attempting to run, we'll receive an error about the Server not being able to find the primary request id <hex>. The error occurs most often before displaying the prompt page, but sometimes after answering all the prompts and clicking finish. The reports...

    Can we use database table in DB2 to store usernames,pswds and userclas

    I believe all security info has to be in an LDAP. You can then use the parameters in ReportNet to filter the reports based on a security table in your database. For example, to pull the user that logged into ReportNet, you would use #sq($account.personalInfo.userName)# in a...

    Reportnet content Store SQL Server 2000

    *Edit If no Security Center, you need to go to the properties of a network connection, then click the Windows Firewall or Firewall tab (not sure which it says) and then I believe I remember there being a properties button that takes you to where you can configure the Firewall. Sorry for the...

    Reportnet content Store SQL Server 2000

    Glad you got it solved. You can/could also configure the firewall properties to allow those ports to go through. This is for those who can't upgrade. Just go to control panel -> Security center -> Windows Firewall. Click the Exceptions tab and add the ports. *Disclaimer: This is how...

    How do I prompt for begin and end date in ReportNet?

    Create a prompt page. Using either blocks or tables, slap a text box in the first one with whatever you want to say. Then put your date prompt in the next block / cell (note: it'd be a one column table for best results), lather, rinse, repeat for the other prompt. You could use a two column...

    Can ReportNet replace desktop Imromptu?

    ReportNet will be able to use the local datasources through ODBC. Sure, you need an administrator on the server to add the DSN, but then you are all set. Just in case you didn't know, ReportNet can print to any printer on your network - you just have to add it to the server and you're off and...

    Is your variable return type set to text or numeric? It should be set to text.

    Reportnet content Store SQL Server 2000

    Is your SQL Server database set up for both Windows and Sql Server authentication or Windows only? Are you installing everything on one server or is this a multi-server configuration? Lastly, is there only one SQL Server instance on the machine? You should be able to find some error messages...

    Auto update the upload file in upfront portal?

    drlex pointed out the security thing first (users can change contents). It won't allow just anyone access to the file. It'll still enforce the security you put on the link/newsbox so only the authorized users can get to it. The flaw comes in that those users could then modify the file. If...

    Reportnet : Query regarding content store

    According to the website you can. http://support.cognos.com/en/support/products/environments.html The only adv/disadv would be the common ones regarding which database is more performant for the situation/environment you have. And which is the best cost/ROI for you.

    Reportnet : Suggession required-urgent

    Well it depends on whether or not the report output versions satisfy your archive requirements. You say initially you want to run them manually, print and archive those results. What I would do is go ahead and schedule them to run a minute from now so you can do a save as pdf and also print...

    Reportnet : Suggession required-urgent

    I think you are stuck with either using the report output viewer, using the sdk, or a somewhat hokey solution. You could create twelve schedules for the report, once per month, and save as a report view, named appropriately. Of course, this implies that you would only have twelve copies of the...

    Reportnet : Suggession required-urgent

    If you have the report scheduled to run once a month, then when you go to view output versions, you will be able to select a date to view. To get the actual name of the report to appear (meaning it would be a separate entry in Connect), you can either save the report as a report view and put...

    Auto update the upload file in upfront portal?

    Sorry...I mistook lincon's post for another I read. I was busy playing on the Oracle and SqlServer forums and I read like three pages here. Doesn't seem like he is interested in the date/time at all, so that point is irrelevant to the task at hand.

    Auto update the upload file in upfront portal?

    As a URL link though, it wouldn't update the date/time that it changed, would it? Since the link itself is static, the date would be the date it was created. It seems that what lincon is interested in is 'tipping off' the users that the spreadsheet was updated. But a link would always go to...

    Reportnet : Suggession required-urgent

    1) Yes. Define a schedule (or job) for each report and route to the appropriate printer. 2) You have the option to save the output as pdf when you schedule. You may want to have more than one output history for the reports. Macro isn't needed. Increase the number of report output...

    Upfront gives Invalid Namespace error before login page

    Check that your Version 7 Access Manager name is the same case as in Version 6. We hit an issue because in Version 6 the namespace was Default but in Version 7 it was default, and it is case sensitive. If you installed Upfront first using the Version 6 AM, then swapped that out for Version 7...
