  • 1.  Missing icon for calculated Query Subject Item in the "Insertable objects" panel

    Posted Thu June 24, 2021 10:47 AM
    Hello, using 11.1.7 here.

    I created an calculated query item in a Framework Manager model. After publishing the package, no icon is at the left of its name. I have tried the following:

    • Set the usage to attribute
    • Set the format as text.

    It's still showing nothing.

    It's no a big deal, but it is aesthetically shocking.

    Hi Alex, did you check for different languages (incl. local variations)?

    What do you mean "different languages"? In the Cognos Analytics interface or in Framework Manager?

    What is the data type?  My supposition is that the data type is set to unknown. 

    If that is the case you have several options.

    One would be to select the parent query subject and choose tools/ validate object.  Another would be to open the query subject and press the validate button and then press the OK button.  

    It is possible that, when you select the query subject, that the status property will display the state 'Needs reevaluation'.

    Thanks Ian!

    Yes, I just had to validate the parent Query Subject and after republishing the icon is there.

    Greetings
