hi jezmondo, It s a bit funny how this thing work... but the fact is, your grouping may affect the output, depending on the sequence you selected your columns while creating the report... what you can do is, select the columns in a different order... I'm not sure if there is any specific order...

Hi, I had never used Cognos Query before myself... but I know that Cognos Query is more towards web enabled EBI tools... one main different between CQ and Imp is that you don't need any installation on your PC to work with CQ... this is because it uses HTML interface... but still it has the...

Hi again, I guess there is nothing wrong with using script at all, infact by using script you can actually some things which are perhaps too complicated to be supported by any GUI... Sorry if I had offended you in any way.... rgds

Hi, I think u must first try to appreciate the purpose of having a GUI interface in Cognos. It should minimise the need to write any script in achieving whatever that you desire. I believe your Cognos package should include the Scheduler which will serve your purpose of scheduling almost any...

Hi, Haven't been around for quite sometime as UWTechie mentioned, there are a few training threads available regarding Cognos Usage. It all depends very much on the level of user (u defined). the way I see it, users can be trained in house (save your cost). btw, ganapathi... are you the...

Hi JID, when u said u publish it to web, are you talking about the 'publish as html' feature or are u talking about PowerPlay Web....? anyway, if u r simply publishing it as html file (to share it with other users on your network) then the saved file will be static, meaning your users can't go...
