If so, where can I find information on it especially how security within cognos is evaluated/verified.
We are trying to investigate the ETL tools available in the market and have narrowed down to two
COGNOS - ETL (Data Manager Tool)
Microsoft - SSIS
Is there a comparison study out there which would help us in this process. Also a list of things we need to look out for in a ETL tool will also help.
Thanks
Hi
I have an installation of Cognos Controller 8.2. The installation of application seems to be all 100%.I can create blank SQL database use the application to upgrade the tables but as soon as I populate the database with data and try to optimise from the application there is an issue. It gives me the error below:
Standard error
Number 5
Source: Frango dircect.Optimise.DeleteTempFox#controllerProxyClie nt
Description: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException
server was unable to process request-->System.Security.Security Exception: Permission Denied
I have checked permissions on the database and all is fine "fastnet" is added as the DB owner and the SQL instance is 100%, Can anyone please shed some light on this.
Hi all - just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how arduous this task would be (migrating Cognos Data Manager scripts to SSIS). I realize it wont be a trivial endeavour, but wondered how much of a headstart having the initial validated Cognos catalog would be to this project (or would it be pretty much useless?)
Thanks
Hi,
We are having performance issue (too slow) compiling cubes utilizing Cognos over SqlServer database. The driver used is Microsoft Sql Server (OLE DB). Is that the right driver to be used?
Any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks
I am a Cognos developer (10 years) and am frustrated with the apparent lack of MSAS ability to replicate Cognos measure scope / allocation features.
I have built three cubes, Sales Info, Store Count, and Date Count and wrapped these into a virtual cube (Sales Reporting). Both the Store Count and Date Count cubes have just a single dimension and a single measure each (Distinct counts of Stores and of Days respectively), this is my attempt at replicating the use of several fact queries with differing scope in Cognos Transformer. In my virtual cube I wish the distinct counts to be allocated constantly within dimensions that are out of scope. For instance if I have product categories as rows and my measures as columns then I wish to see the total number of stores on each row and the number of days in the date range so that I can calculate a few ratio's. I do not wish to see the number of stores that sold products in each category or the number of days products in that category were sold, which is what I see if I use distinct count measures in a cube with the exact same dimensionality.
All that I have been able to achieve is something similar to Cognos's 'do not allocate', zero's appear down the list of categories in out of scope dimensions.
TIA
Hi. We've got hundreds of Cognos reports and catalogs and we'd like to convert them to SSRS reports and models. Is there a tool to do this? We're converting our reporting to SSRS and need help. Thanks.

I am unable to crosstab different alternate hierarchies of an MSAS cube from a single dimension, I'm using Cognos Powerplay (7.3 web and client) to browse the data. v 7.1 displays the same behaviour.
When I try to create the crosstab the display replaces both rows and columns to the alternate path, it overwrites the original path. Can anyone tell me if this is a Cognos issue or an Analysis services one and if there is any way around it. The only solution I have at the moment is to bodge it by creating seperate dimensions for each alternate hierarchy however this is ugly and difficult to use.

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

I have developed a database on my local machine using MSDE. I am using Visual Studio.net to add tables/stored procedures to the database. I have created asp.net pages. I need to get this database on a web server that runs Enterprise SQL Server. Can I just use the 'sp_detach_db' and 'sp_attach_db' to move the database between servers?

Hi There,
Greetings! Many of my clients are on SQL 7.0 (Win NT) and want to upgrade to SQL2K (Win 2003). We have approximately 1200 Stored Procedures (SPs) per module.
Our porting exercise involves changing keywords of SQL 7 to SQL2K (eg. LTRIM, RTRIM, GROUP BY etc).
Is there a tool available online which can run thru the SPs and do the porting job? Otherwise I have to hand-code these changes
Also, has any one out there done this exercise before? What are the things to lookout for to avoid goofups?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In DTS 2000 package dynamic property task an ini file is read and values for some keys are read. These values are nothing but name of servers on which to run some sql tasks. This dts package has three defined connections. So when the keys are read it will be either one of these three.
For eg. there are three sql tasks. sql1, sql 2 and sql3. sql1 needs to be run against server s1, sql2 against s3 and sql3 aginst s2. So the ini file sets three different variables connection1 to s1,connection2 to s3 and connection3 to s2. These variables are then used to run sql tasks accordingly.
When I migrated this dts package to .dtsx format and edited using SSIS, it gave me a blank format of vb script which we need to code. please help me out in this issue ?
Thanks,
Nit
I try to migrate DTS package to SSIS.
Within one DTS package AAA, it calls another DTS package BBB with inner variable.
I successfully migrate the BBB DTS package.
For my AAA package, I replace the DTS_Execute_Task_2000 with Execute Package task. But how do we pass the inner variable parameter ?
Soon, i will be asked to carry enterprise databases on an Sql Server 2005 Server x86 edition to Sql Server Server 64-bit editon on another server. I am wondering that is it just fine to detach/attach databases. Is there any trouble that i may face?
Any experience?

I created a website using Visual web developer express edition (including SQL Express). No the user management section of the site (the login/logout database) was created automatically and SQL Server express was installed at my computer under the instance name of SQLExpress. I uploaded it to my web host and he hooked up the ASPNETDB for me. Now the problem is that ASPNETDB has an id password and I was given the MSSQL Server IP. How do I configure my website to accommodate that? Any help will be extremely useful!!!
