  • 1.  How can I show a field with data type blob?

    Hi everybody,

    There are fields defined in blob data type in my model that I created by Framework Manager.

    I want to show these fields in my list. But even though I cast this field, I get a query service error.

    Note: Blob type fields are defined in JSON format.

    Version used: Cognos Analytics 11.1 R4

    Anyone have any idea about this topic? I would be glad if you help

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,
    Erdem YAZAN

    If you are storing JSON (or BSON) in a LOB type in your database, recommend you use their SQL-JSON features to project the required objects as types that would be supported.
