If you are utilizing the legacy Cognos Transformer or Analysis Studio tools, be advised that the Windows Server security update from January 2024 (KB5034127) will render these tools inoperable in Cognos 11.X environments. Because these tools have been end-of-lifed, no IBM fix packs will be available ...

Hello everyone... I'm seeing a strange issue in 11.1.7 that I was hoping someone else has encountered. I have reports that run fine when run from the portal (runs in a few seconds - both the prompt page and the report). When I edit the report, it first takes several minutes before I can see the ...

Is there an extension somewhere that lets you modify the default login page? I'm not trying to use the sample_login.zip file which is a different looking page. I'm just looking to change some text and the image for this screen on 11.2.4: ------------------------------ Todd Schuman ...

Does anyone have an extension or JSON code that is needed to add the recently run reports as a tab in Cognos 11.2.4? I have the code to add custom folders in the team content but I can't find a way to add recent. ------------------------------ Todd Schuman ------------------------ ...

Hi Mitsu, The best way to do this would be using Conditional Blocks. How to create a report that will display one of three possible reports based on a prompt selection (ibm.com) I've attached a basic sample that would do that. Let me know if you have any questions or need more help. ...

Hi Robert, Yes, the settings I mention require it to be done by the users, but a simple one-page guide on setup doesn't take too long for users to implement as a one-time change. In my experience users haven't had an issue doing this. As for your other concerns, I agree that there are still ...

Hi Mike, A lot like users coming from Powerplay to Analysis Studio, there are features and a sense of simplicity that is lost moving from one tool to another. I've done a bunch of AS/QS to Reporting conversions over the years and here are some tips. Set the package/cube metadata view to "show ...

I should have had my coffee before responding. Sorry I don't have ZIPI, I have the IPADATA data source. This is a brand-new Content Store with nothing loaded except the samples, audit reports, and IPA package and reports. ------------------------------ Todd Schuman --------------------------- ...

Hi Trevor, I'm using Azure SQL DB's for all Cognos Databases. No special or advanced properties, just a standard SQL Server Native Client Data Source connection. I have the ZIPI data source, but the tables don't exist yet, so the sample IPA reports fail. Any help would be appreciated. ...

Has anyone been able to get the new IPA reporting tables to generate or populate in the database? I have a notification DB but I don't get any of the tables after adding the advanced setting. I've checked the CS and audit DB as well, nothing is there. Is there another step needed to get this going? ...

I'm trying to enhance a burst report by using Event Studio to include the Burst Group name in the email Subject line. This works great when I send out the bust via an email, but I need to use a CAMID of a distribution group that lives in the Cognos namespace. For reference, this is the technique I ...

Hi Yerramreddy, In your Cognos installation folder, you can find scripts that will give you this information. There is a folder for each content store vendor (SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) so make sure to select the correct version and run the script against the content store. If you installed to the ...

Hi Adam, We built a solution at Senturus called the "Migration Assistant". It scans the content store and creates a new database based on your Cognos data. You can then analyze your reports, models, and users anyway you can think of, as well as creating a report inventory with full report XML. Check ...

Hi Adam, You can do that, but I would recommend using the Fix Packs instead. The manual process involves modifying some of the source code and if you upgrade later, you are going to have to revert back to the original which is easy to forget months later. -Todd ------------------------------ ...

Hi Adam, It looks like you are on 11.1.7 IF7 which was before the log4j patching occurred. The best version to go to at this time would be FP6 if you are staying on 11.1.7 or 11.2.4.1 if you want to use this time to get to the newest version which is also now in long term support (LTS). There was ...

Hi Patrick, I don't have access to it right now, but I recall testing out one of the login extensions and having an issue with it. I seem to recall it is looking for the default namespace that gets setup when you do a "quick install" which is called CognosMX or something like that. It locked everyone ...
