Hi,
Cognos version:8.2 RS

I have  two value prompts(drop down) namely state and city.when user selects state it should navigate to cities present in that state. At the same time the first city should be selected by default without selection and data should be displayed.further whenever I select any city the concerned data should be displayed.

further whenever I select any state it should open with related cities and their data.

Hi,
Cognos version:8.2 RS

I have a report which consists of various prompts.When I run the report,it should open with the prompts in cognos viewerfor the user.when user selects the desired prompt, the report output should be exported directly into Excel spreadsheet.
At the same time the user wants that cognos viewer(prompts page) should remain like that for further selection.

The main functionality is the prompt page should remain like that and the data should be exported directly to Excel.
The user doesn't want to run the report from the scratch again.

 

Req: critical

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have only one column in a table called 'code'. It contains values like w,we,wem,m,me(sample data) etc.

In my prompt page, I have two value prompts where the first value prompt contains values w,m(Static Choice). Second value prompt is the cascaded prompt with first prompt as cascaded source. For eg, if i click 'w' in the first prompt then the second prompt should display only the values that contains 'w' (w,we,wem).

 I tried this by creating data items but couldnt achieve this. Please help me out.

 Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 Could you please help on this.

My company is thinking of eliminating stars that our present cognos system uses in order to enchance performance of the daily system loads. It is my understanding that stars are use to enhance performance of COGNOS. By eliminating the stars, does anyone know how much this will affected the performance of COGNOS?

<>Great post here from Colorado Startups.

<>Seeking venture capital can be a little like a numbers game, ie. do a million presentations until you find one that throws some money your way, but the trick seems to be a matter of making a quality connection via another quality connection.

Richard MacManus of Read/Write web reports on Dave Sifry's (Technorati) state of the blogosphere.

Interesting stat is that "39% of all blog postings are in English. Japanese is the second-most popular language, at 31% and China third with 12%."

Gut feel is that the asian market is just as mature as the english-speaking one. The difference is that of profile. Perhaps once Technorati is able to ping these then you will find the face of the Technorati Top100 moving from the anglo-centric focus.

From the Korean, Chinese and Japanese experience, the highly inter-connected cultural fabric when overlaid with the right technological mechanism (eg. blogging software) leads to fast penetration/uptake.

BusinessWeek has just run a story on startups and their millionaire founders. Great piece to inspire as well as to draw all sorts of profanity about your current full time wage slavery :)

Seth Godin has been discussing the future of Search on his blog.

The three-keyword exercise that has been the Google story can really only represent the infant stages of search.

The next big thing will have to incorporate:

• community input eg. voting
• user preferences
• include dimensional searches (how, when, where etc in addition to the current 'what')
• geomapping (where am I?)

...fire extingusher not included

• study hard
• get a good job that pays well and teaches you marketable skills
• maximize and grow your wage income
• be frugal and save
• invest your savings well
• repeat until after-tax savings/net worth can cover your living expenses until expected death

With the advent of news sites such as Digg and Newsvine (and the recently revamped Netscape) where the users vote on what is newsworthy (ie. what goes on the front page), much discussion has been had around what is News2.0 (as opposed to News1.0 of the old web - ie. you read what we put on our news site).

Is News2.0 just online news with a populist slant?

Is it about the wisdom (or folly) of crowds? Can they be trusted to determine what is newsworthy, or will the mob mentality prevail?

I think not. News2.0 should be some of the above but really should focus on driving interaction between content publisher (ie. news gatherer) and news consumer (ie. internet surfer). How would you define and measure this? ANSWER: the number of quality comments and trackbacks to a particular news story. That's News2.0!

A: Customizing someone else's code.

I have been debugging for the whole day. I have global variables coming out of my ***hole.

Code frustration has now gone open source.

Stumbled onto this site recently. Amazing that such a thriving economy exists. I'm sure we all knew that it did but to see it in action is another.

Whether you are building a new system or a new report, even if the Feasibility has been approved by the Steering committee. Ask yourself:

• is there a pain point?
• what is the pain point?
• will the solution alleviate the pain point?
• what are the users' total perceived pain of adoption?

That's the street level cost-benefit.

I read 'The Pro-Am Revolution' a little while ago and decided to pick it up again recently.

As a fulltime IT wage slave, I wake at 6am, struggle through breakfast and traffic at 7am, to get into my battery hen's work quarters by 8am. I'll prostitute myself for the next 8 hours doing everything from business requirements to project reporting to test plans. The hardest decision I have to make during the day is - what should I have for lunch? (Unfortunately, I bring my own lunch).

My day does not really begin until after dinner when I can slip on the broadband and surf/code/converse/dream. The love of the craft - auto pilot switch is flicked on.

Pro-Am time:

• means I'm in charge (not the organizational five-year strategic plan)
• things get done right (and is not the shortest path between two points)
• is like taking the best crap in the quietest toilet in the building.
