In Cognos Analytics 11, For query studio. How to force user to use the option "preview with no data" when building a query studio report. I basically want to user to build the query with no data then when he/she is done with building it to click run an click the data. I know each user can do it for him/her self but I want to in force it globally
So the answer to this question is the same for previous versions of Cognos. This is how I addressed my issue in 11 and it worked for me
1- On the server(s) where the dispatcher is installed, add an entry to /cognos/analytics/templates/ps/qs/systemt.xml
param name="limitedDataMode">nodata</param>
Then restart the system.

I noticed that from December 1 published extensions are not visible on the page https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ and google after such indexing is visible? Could it be some sort of algorithm update?
Or is it a temporary error?
You may want to try Updating a web app's Chrome Web Store listing with these steps:
Open the web app script in the script editor.
Click Publish > Register in Chrome Web Store. Click Edit store item. This will bring up the Edit Item form you filled out during publication.
Make the changes you want to the description, graphic assets or other settings.
Click Publish changes.
Visit the Chrome Web Store developer dashboard to see the publication status of your web app. Note that the publication process can take up to an hour to finish. Once the "Status" column says "Published", your web app will be available in the store.
In addition to that, you may also check the possible reasons why your item may not be showing in search.
If any of the given links doesn't help, I suggest that you submit your issue.
I have a project which uses SharePoint lists as data sources to create the reports. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 for this.
I have this real annoying issue at this moment, ie. when I want to edit a dataset I created a while ago and I press 'Query Designer...' in the dataset properties to see all fields from my list I get an error which says that I am unauthorized.
My DataSource is configured to link to the SharePoint Site Url with Windows Credentials. I have also tried this out for multiple datasets on multiple reports but the error is everywhere.
Because of this I'm also not able to run my reports. They just say "An error occurred during local report processing.".
I have been working on this project since March and this is the first time this has occurred so I have no idea what might have gone wrong nor how to solve it.
Does anyone know what might cause this error and how to solve it please?
If you have any questions or remarks about my question/problem, please, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
Kind regards
EDIT 1:
I have just tried deploying a report that I finished last week and for the first time I got a prompt that asked for my credentials. I haven't even put my credentials anywhere in the project for past authorisation so I have no idea why the project would suddenly need it now...
EDIT 2:
I have just tried changing the DataSource credentials to my own login for the SharePoint Site. If I run the report I get the same error as before but when I go to Query Designer for one of the datasets I get following error:
EDIT 3:
I just restored a back-up I made a couple of weeks ago. I can now run my reports but I still get the Unauthorized error when I try to open a dataset's query designer and the prompt for my credentials when I try to deploy a report.
So, the solution has been found!
Apparently something has gone wrong with my PC and I had to reconfigure my user accounts.
To do this go to Control Panel -> User Accounts
Then click on 'Manage User Accounts'. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on 'Manage Passwords'
Next, go to 'Windows Credentials' and change the credentials for your site or recreate them.
I have some application, that use cognos as report engine. This application have some predefined packages for it's reports.
When I need to create report, I use tables and field in predefined packages, and everything is OK!
But now I created my own table, and I want to make report for this table. But I don't see it in Cognos Report Studio, and I can't add it into default Ad-Hoc Query Layer. I tried to add SQL-query, but it also don't work.
How to edit predefined packages in Cognos. I think there need to be another utility, not Cognos Report Studio. But I don't know what utility, and I can't find any solution in IBM Help.
You need to use IBM Cognos Framework Manager (if you have a Cognos BI Admin license, you'll also be licensed to use this), and edit the 'Model'. If the 'predefined package' you're referring to comes with models (e.g. the Cognos sample data is within the /webcontent/samples/models directory), then you can open these with Framework Manager and publish a new package with your update database structure.
I have error in configuration of SQL-query. Need to select source before SQL-check. Cognos don't need to have predefined packages to work with user-structures.
In the past, I have developed SSRS reports using Visual Studio (BIDS/SSDT). Unfortunately, a company server migration has made it impossible for me to deploy my reporting projects using that technology, so it appears I have to resort to Report Builder now.
Others have claimed that the SSRS project-building capabilities of Visual Studio far exceed those of the Report Builder in SQL Server.
What I'd like to know is: Can I develop a Reporting Services project in Visual Studio and then upload it to Report Builder so that it is deployable there? If so, what are the steps to accomplish this, and what, if any, are the drawbacks?
You can manually upload the report files (the .rdl) files to reporting services, either manually or using something like rs scripter.
When you add a report in BIDS/SSDT it creates the rdl which you can deploy - you shouldn't have to use the report builder at all.
This shows how to upload reports using the web ui:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157332.aspx
I was able to use my uploaded.RDL file by opening it in Report Builder.
FYI, the steps to upload the .RDL file are:
Start Report Manager (SSRS Native Mode).
In Report Manager, navigate to the Contents page. Navigate to the folder in which you want to add the report.
Click "Upload File".
Click "Browse" to select the .RDL file to upload. You can also upload image files, or other resources that you want to make available to other reports on the server, rather than embedded in your report.
Type a name for the new item.
If you want to replace an existing item with the new item, select Overwrite item if it exists.
Click OK.
Just note that you may have to modify login credentials in the properties of data source's in your report. In order for the report server to access a database used by your report, you may also need to grant it some privileges in the database.
Somehow I have changed the TFS 2012 query that is used for code reviews. This query can be found under "My Work" in VS 2012 towards the bottom. I can see the guts of the query by selecting "open query" next to the title "My Code Reviews & Requests" and then selecting "edit query". However, it is not possible to save this query in a way that will change the "My Code Reviews & Requests" or at least I can't see it.
The issue that I have is that someone the query has been changed from the default and I don't know how to get it back to the default. This issue is isolated to me and this specific TFS instance. I can connect to a different TFS instance and see the default query using the same steps as above so I am relatively certain that this issue is related to a specific TFS instance and not my local machine.
Try voting on this Microsoft bug to see if it pushes for an improvement in TFS design by allowing more control over the queries generated by the My Work view:
Queries listed under My Work cannot be corrected
You don't mention how you change that so as I guess you customize the process if so? Of course this happen to existing project but as I guess it will not happen for new project??? if so you can download the existing project that has the issue and create new project using the same process template and try to compare the 2 process to know what is the different and how you can change that.
