  • 1.  CogBox issue with missing options in Cognos Analytics 11.2.4

    Posted Thu December 21, 2023 07:10 AM

    Hi,

    we have Cogbox ( 2CogBox2023.08.04.zip )  add-on installed on our Cognos Analytics 11.2.4 fixpack 2. When trying to move or copy multiple files , the  "copy or move to" option is missing on the blue ribbon above the selected objects (as well as other options). 

    Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?

    With CogBox: 

    Without CogBox:

    With best regards , 

    Luka

    This is definitely not expected behavior. Do you have any time to connect to do a screenshare?

    Good morning, We have the same issue (but didn't realize a connection to the installed CogBox yet). I'd be glad to read about your solution here. Thanks!

    This is actually a little embarrassing. I was including a tool that wasn't included in the final product. Download the cogbox zip, unzip it, and in the spec.json find a reference to quickreport:

                { "id": "custom.context.menu.quickReport",
                  "environment": {"groupsAndRoles": [":CogBox:CogBox Admins"]},
                  "containerId": "com.ibm.bi.contentApps.listViewMenu",
                  "type": "MenuItem",
                  "actionController": "v1/ext/CogBox/js/controllers/quickDatasetReport/quickReport.js",
                  "label": "Make Quick Report",
                  "icon": "images/copy-light.svg",
                  "weight": 1000
                }
    

    Remove that section, rezip, and reupload. It should start working again.

    Hi Paul, Thanks a lot for delivering a quick solution (as always)! Do you already know when you will release a new version including this fix? 

    P.S. I'm curious to learn what a quickreport is one day
