A cow jumped over the earth

Big news: we’ve relocated to Sydney, Australia (yep, the one with the Opera house, kangaroos and Fosters). And as of 1st of November I’ll be joining small, but proud ”bunch of guys that share the same passion and dedication for Cognos (and sometimes the same sick humour :))” ©, namely, PMSquare. There’ll be more upside-down stories here, I promise.   As [...]

Back from winter-sleep

Okay, it has been almost half-a-year (oh, dears) since the last decent post on this blog. Russian one has suffered as well, I must note. Reasons vary, but mostly it’s that I’ve been, you know, busy-busy. As I now start to reflect on it, it’s always a point of view thing and a question of [...]

Go west

I’m not dead, just trying to push it through to my vacation. Lot’s of small news, like ‘I’ve attached cognos to essbase cubes and they work together like charm, I’m impressed’, but no time to write it out. Anyway. I’ll be spending next couple of weeks in Europe, so if you want to share a [...]

Technicalities and my ru_blog

New digest: 1 This blog changed hosting once more. Now it’s ultra speed webfaction instead of Yahoo. Speed, ssh, svn are main switch reasons 2 I’ve started a more light-weighted blog in russian ykud.ru (who’d guess). 3 And I’m thinking about this blog’s future. I’ve got only one post laying in drafts (it’s called “Testing [...]

Enterprise PLanning Objects Naming Convention.

As I’ve promised, here are naming conventions I tend to follow in EP projects. Setting up naming rules doesn’t seem so crucial at project start, but generally hits on you on the head on final phase, when development turns to support. And trying to support your colleagues model will leave you thinking about naming objects [...]

Sitekeeping

During site cleanup renamed EP cookbook into EP&BI cookbook: now it contains links to bi advices and topics as well. Added some other site modifications. Though I guess I’d have to move to another hosting to make it work faster. But compared to cognos communities it’s a f1 car even now (kicking the dead horse, [...]

Using Oracle Model clause in real-life )

I’ve been a long-term fan of oracle model by clause, talking about here and there, doing some small&funny examples (like eight queens solution in one select) but lacked some real-life necessity to use it. It always turned out that partition by was enough, or some tricky analytical function was already built-in (like trend calculations I [...]

Vacation

I’m out for two weeks, at last. Will be around world deepest lake. Lucky me )

Anniversary

Got so overflowed with work that missed the 1st year anniversary of this blog. Time flew really fast, I must admit. Thank you all for reading. And writing back. Some stats: around 10 unique hits a day to total of around 4k, quite as much feed readers, mostly from USA&Europe. And from Australia, Taiwan, Japan [...]
