I get the same error in regular list reports with newly-created columns in a very similar fashion to your case expression. Have never figured out how to overcome so any solutions from others would be greatly appreciated! Which version are you running? I'm on 11.1.4 with plans to upgrade this year. ...

RE: Reporting on SQL Data that is not in a Framework Manager Package

Sure thing Brenda, let's see if this image comes through: I glanced at other server connections (most of mine are mysql, not ms sql) and they all have that driver class name field below and I never edit it manually. Not sure why it's not listed on yours? Though I'm on 11.1.4 ------------------------------ ...

Here's the jdbc string I use in a data server connection. You can keep some of your params but I'd lose the driver name and everything after that since driver is defined automatically for you in the next field down. Once you test successfully and load metadata, your new server connection will be a choice ...

Exact source for dashboard visualization

Posted By Victoria Ratkos Thu June 18, 2020 05:29 PM
Found In Egroup: Cognos Analytics \ view thread
Hoping this is something simple that I'm just not seeing: I have a dashboard built from a data module with a few different tables in it that have the same column names. I cannot see how to tell which data table I built the visualization from, especially if I'm editing one built a while ago and don't ...

RE: how do I turn off zooming?

+1 I have started leaving a strip of unused dashboard space on the far right so that end users have a "safe" zone to use their mouse's scroll wheel. Zooming on dashboard items is an understandable feature, but it just doesn't line up with a user's daily constant scrolling behavior. They scroll on every ...

RE: Want timestamp attached to scheduled report file output name - even the first time

Hi Brenda, I can confirm the behavior is the same in 11.1.4 in that the timestamp starts being added after that first run. That's not a workaround but wanted to let you know it persisted in future versions. Today, I run it then run it again manually to force that timestamp on day 1, which is not ideal ...

Data Module recovery options

Found In Egroup: Cognos Analytics \ view thread
Twice now I've been creating a new dataset from a data module but then after an error found that the data module I was using as a source had completely disappeared from my environment. Both times I was creating a dataset from modules that had few columns but an absolutely huge number of rows which probably ...
