I am new to IBM Cognos, I have created a project using DB2 as a data source. When I added some extra rows to my table it's not reflecting into my project. Is there any way to automatically update the database data into Cognos Report studio.
Please tell me the solution.
If its rows you are adding to your Query subject, they will automatically update in your framework manager metadata. You can check it by using Test tab.

There does not seem to be a way to set up automatic refreshing of data from Sharepoint like there is with a SQL server.
The main difference from what I can tell is that Sharepoint is only listed as a Data Table, with no Data Connection Settings.

How can I can I set up Spotfire to automatically update the data from Sharepoint once a day? I've tried various JS and IronPython scripts, although not specifically designed for Sharepoint data updates and I've had no luck so far.
I had contacted Spotfire support and at the moment is it not possible to do automatic updating from Sharepoint. They may or may not add it in the future.
Is there a way to export the metrics from the 'measures' tab in sonarqube to excel without querying a database? I am currently using the embedded db for testing purposes on SonarQube 7.0.
In the footer of every page is a link to the on-board Web API docs. You can use the services listed there to pull this data. Specifically, you probably want api/measures/component. Note that the data will be returned in a JSON format, so you'll need to do some scrubbing to make it ready for Excel.
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.
I'm trying to use VS 2012 SQL Server Database project for versioning control of our database schema. However, our database schema is being updated by another team/tool, instead of through the Database project. Whenever it's updated, I have to manually update the Database project files - very tedious and error-pron. I'm wondering if there is a way to auto refresh all the schema changes from the updated database (just like the EF UI design tool which has a 'Update model from database' menu)?
Thanks!!
You can try using Schema Compare to compare & update the schema changes. Learn more:

With the disclaimer that it's still a 'beta' feature (for now), you can now use SQL Source Control to link your database with a database project. This integrates into SQL Server Management Studio. This means that you will get little blue indicators overlaid on the Object Explorer each time a change gets made to the database that isn't synced to your project. It doesn't matter where the change gets made, be it in SSMS or otherwise.
There's a 28-day trial, so we'd encourage you to try it and let us (Red Gate) know if you come across any issues.
