Cognos problem summary, which will be summarized later

1. Where Are Cognos logs stored.
The default location of Cognos logs is .. cognoscer1; you can set the log location in transformer.

2. If the B/S mode is used, which of the following tools does the prawn use to customize some reports? How can I publish the reports to the Internet?
It is generally customized using impromptu and released using impromptu Web report.
Otherwise, just as a friend from another forum said, create a "powerplay Report" and use the powerplay Enterprise Server to publish the ppx file.

3. The installation sequence of Cognos is as follows:
1. To install directory server, you can use the default configuration parameters and remember these parameters.
2. Run the installation CD for enterprise server administration, run config the directory server on the installation interface to configure the Directory Server, and use the parameters in the previous step to configure the Directory Server.
3. Install enterprise server administration and use the above configurations (all use the default values). After the installation is complete, Open Access Manager and you will see the default directory server. If not, right-click to add it, after the test is successful, open the Ticket Server tab and use the default configuration. The test is successful. Open the runtime credentials tab and click "OK" after the test is successful.
4. Open ie after installation, enter http: // localhost/Cognos/CGI-BIN/ppdscgi. EXE, you can see the Cognos publish cube home page. If it cannot be opened, check whether the virtual directory is added to Cognos/cgi-bin.
5. Open upfront server administraton and join the server. Use the default local machine. The installation is complete. Open IE and enter http: // localhost/Cognos to view the home page of the Cognos upfront configuration. If it cannot be opened, check whether the upfront service is up.
6. Other installation methods are relatively simple. You only need to install the server when installing powerplay transformer. You do not need to install the user version. If you install the user version, the server may be washed away. Impromptu's server and user versions can be installed, but the server version is generally enough.
7. Cognos permission control is as follows: to join a user group can only be performed in Access Manager, while to join a user can be performed either in Access Manager or on the upfront web interface. Generally, users and user groups are processed in Access Manager, and resource control is performed on the upfront web interface.
8. Cognos DS only processes data, but can call the stored procedure. Program scheduling is still processed in scheduler. You can first write the DS job stream for data processing and the call to the cube for batch processing, and then schedule in scheduler.
9. Cognos6.61 can generate a dynamic custom report. ppx file and publish it on the web.
10. The Web interface of upfront can be modified, and JSP and XML technologies are required.

4. Does Cognos support eis?
Cognos's EIS product is visualizer

5. I wonder what the performance of Cognos for large-capacity application environments is? For example, the mobile business analysis system should be recommended by experts.
It doesn't matter if there is a large amount of data. The key is whether your model design is optimized, such as not having too many dimensions, and not having too many levels and cateogry. In addition, you can try to use transform to optimize the partition of the cube.

6. How can I install impromptu 6.0?

Error:

1) When I install impromptu 6.0 (Administrator edition) near the end of the installation, the system prompts "unable to locate the program entry point nlsstrqcmpn2 on the dynamic Connection Library comml. dll ".

2) view the following error logs in the temp directory:
Failed to self-register the file: C: cognoscer1binxxxautometadatacache. dll.
The installation will continue, but you will need to reboot your system in order for the self-registration to work.
Custom Action failed. Library:. setdsn. dll-function: adddsn-arguments: db_greatoutdoors

3) run under the Tools menu of my powerprompt cannot be used

Before installing this program, I have stopped all Cognos services. Who can help me answer these questions?

Cause:
1) all services starting with Cognos are not stopped.
2) All services starting with impromptu are not stopped.
3) the Netscape Administration Server 4.2 service is not stopped.
4) The Netscape Directory Server 4.1 Service is not stopped.
5) Cognos Common Logon is not exited.

7. In terms of WEB presentation, how does brio, Bo, and Cognos achieve this?
Cognos uses powerplay enterprise server to provide web-based Cube access.
Impromptu Web Report provides web access to impromptu reports
The upfront server is similar to an enterprise or individual portal and is used to integrate cubes and reports (just to integrate their access links, but the real cube processing or report processing must be switched to the corresponding Serer) to form a complete system.

All Web access is in CGI format.

8. Do you think schedule will occasionally fail during scheduled execution?
And also falsely claimed no errors
Regularly refresh cubes
Use the scheduled task that comes with windows.

9. Registration failed after Netscape was installed.
Cannot be installed through a network Hard Disk

Install the file locally and disable all anti-virus files.

It is recommended that the two passwords be consistent during installation.

I haven't figured out what the two passwords are for now.
Generally, do not install Netscape Directory and the operating system on a disk.
After Netscape is installed, everything is normal, that is, it cannot be logged on.
Then restart the Service (all the three services of Netscape are restarted) And you can log on to it. I don't know why? Think twice about it. I installed it on an Elastic Block Storage (edisk) and the partition is NTFS.
Later, the entire Netscape was reinstalled.
10. the following is the simplest Cognos Automatic Login implementation document. on a machine that has installed Cognos, if the initial user name and password have not changed, automatic login can be implemented. here, the technical support of Cognos is too weak, and users need to explore everything themselves. Why not open it up is conducive to their own development.
Currently, Cognos has been approved by the customer. It is estimated that the sales of Cognos will fluctuate greatly. Who makes it unavailable!

11. Whether Enterprise Server can be installed without improtu

My improtu is broken. I am going to demonstrate it now. Can I install Enterprise Server and transform without improtu. I just want to browse in IE mode. What should I do?

Yes
Impromptu is generally not bad. You can delete cer1binimpromptu. ini and start impromptu.

13. What does rollup mean?

Ask your predecessors
Regular Rollup
Time state Rollup
Duplicates Rollup
Meaning of the three,
Regular accumulation;
Accumulate on time;
Multiply;

14. Do you have any problems that transform installation is not allowed to continue?

Is it not allowed to continue the installation of Transform in half?
Generally not

Remember to stop your anti-virus firewall (especially Kingsoft drug overlord) during installation, and delete the related items in the Registry when you reinstall it. No problem.
15. It does not seem to be too realistic.

Data sources that can be used in Cognos are divided into internal and external data sources.
External Data source: excel, DBF, and text files can be used as data sources. For example, an Excel table including currency conversion can be used as a data source.
Internal Data source: a data source generated by using the Cognos tool. For example, you can use impromptu to save the IMR file as an IQD file and use it as a data source.

The cat file is only used to determine the information directory usage and cannot be counted as a data source.
For more information about how to add data sources, see my previously uploaded powerplay user manual.

Have you reported any errors during installation?
When I first started to install IWR, I installed it in the default mode. An error should be reported;
However, people who are familiar with the installation will be notified of the need for custom installation, and only the first item will be installed. Other items will also be installed when other devices are installed. As a result, no error is reported, and the service starts normally.
