Why am I writing this?
Well, sometime it helped and we now have allocation tables in administration links. Although I’m sure my post didn’t have any impact, some deem hope remains
I’m going to repost this into Communities and into Insight. And, maybe, we can create some noise by voting for these enchancements in Insight aka registering [...]
With so-long waited new Contributor client, with expand\collapse and nest dimensions features. And a lot, lot more. ActiveX free ) Actually, as long as I’m with cognos ep (since adaytum 2.4), contributor was always the same good-old-rigid tool, so it’s a revolution indeed.
Well, with a huge lot of bugs inside, it’s time, gentlemen, to power [...]
I already wrote some notes on choosing dimension for publish in this post.
Today I just want to add some of points:
1 If you’re up to publishing some serious amount of data, variant with adding a dummy dlist with 1 item and using it as dimension for publish seems a very bad idea. You’re terribly slowing [...]
2 excellent Proven Practices documents were published today, describing how to speed up publising (cognos.com login is required):
- using oracle
- using ms sql server
Same old “If you are loading data, drop indexes” roams
A lot of work stops me from investigating it further, but I’ve experienced some errors in admin links (dlinks) from cognos package when data contained double qoutes (”).
I guess, this is due to the fact that package links generate an xml mapping file (source to destination) which contains lines like
and this file is then [...]
There are some situations when you definitely need some way of recognizing new input from user. These are rather rare occasions, but when it’s nice to have such a tool is sack.
One of the applications was discussed in this communities topic. By the way, I’m spending much time on communities these days (it’s a [...]
In 8.2 we’ve got incremental publishing, allowing us to create real-time reporting on contributor data and that sets up new frontier in model data transfer speed. Now the slowest part of models are administration links (who’d guessed that when 7.3 appeared).
Here are some ideas of how to speed admin links up, using the same principle [...]
I’ve nicked the term “Multi-Line” model out from some cognos best practices presentations. Never known it was called that way )
Multi-Line is only way to go when you have a potentially huge dimension only a tiny bit of which should be available to end-user at a time. Like employee planning, whole dimension of 10k people, [...]
Christmas present for us — Cognos EP 8.3 is out.
A question for me now is: What will happen to Access Manager, what’s his future? I’ve heard rumors about discontinuation of development\support in near future, I know that some readers have better internal access, so could you please clarify the issue somehow?
So we can now [...]
