  • 1.  Cognos Analytis Home Page column Last accessed

    Posted Fri August 23, 2024 04:48 AM

    Hello everyone,

    We are working with CA 11.2.4 and the home page column Last Accessed is confusing because the information is not consistent.

    Could anyone explain me what is the date showed and how this date could be changed ?

    Thank you for any help.

    Best regards.

    Hi German, 

    Your're right, the name is confusing, it's actually the last time saved. I think I remember it was also updated when executed by a schedule in the past, but please check yourself, I'm not working with schedules any more. 

    Best regards

    Philipp

    Hello Philipp,

    Thank you for your answer. You are right for scheduled reports it is the last execution, do you know a way to change this date or hide it from the home page ?

    Thanks !

    I'm afraid this is the way it is. An option could be to hide the folders completely from the consumers and only give them access to the reports by some kind of drillthrough-report as home page. But this would surely mean a hard change.

    Hi German,

    I would agree that the date is changed when anything is changed in the underlying content store object. I found out that it changes when one of the following actions is performed:

    • report is saved
    • any report property is changed, e.g. the name
    • the version history information is changed, e.g. a schedule is run or the parameter cache is updated/created just by running the report
    • report is replaced/overwritten by copy or move

    Best regards

    N.

    Hi N D,

    Thank you for the detailed answer.

    I will try to do this on an extension. 

    Best regards,
