I did install it as it looked like it would give us more information than the standard Audit reports and some degree of access into the Content Store that we currently have to guess at tables/joins/fields etc to get meaningful information out.
Tables were created and seemed to work Ok. BUT...being a non-US customer it seems the underlying tables and processes are built for US dates, so it worked OK for the first 12 days of the month and threw errors from then onwards.
As there is no support for it and I'm not allowed database access to verify anything, it was dropped.

Subject: Cognos Audit Extension: still unsupported because it is an as-is application
Hi,
Do you use Cognos Audit Extension? If yes, would you share your experience with this part of the product! Anything related to troubleshooting would be fine.
BTW, it is strange to have a file called c10AuditExtensionNOTES.odt (created in 2010, and updated in 2011) in cognos_directory\samples\AuditExtension\docs
Note there is a technical note for 11.2.4 to 12.1.0 releases on IBM Support : IBM Cognos Analytics - Audit Extension Reports and Models
Do you know if this will become supported in a near future?
Best regards,
