Can we Report BW Cube using Cognos Fornt End tools

Hello, Experts.
We need some inputs on how to Report BW cubes using COGNOS front end tools.  
is this possible?
do we need to develop new cubes out in cognos again for making reports?
and in BW cube some attributes of material are not navigational if we go to cognos  can we use this attributs for drill down or filtering?
Thanks in Advance.
Bharath.

i am currently working on bi 7 with cognos 8.2 and go live very soon
- best approach is to use query as datasource for cognos (cognos consultants agree)
.......without query as datasource, cognos cannot see any reusable objects.
- If i recall, cognos can leverage attributes as navigational even if bw does not have them set that way.
- one downside is that you need to make sure all your rkf descriptions are locked down 100% because cognos uses the description in their xml definitions.
- Make sure you have an experience cognos framework modeler that knows ins and out and does not use simple wizards.  same happened to us and lots of settings occured very late and slowed project.
reach out to me via my profile and i can give you pointers.

  • Can a report be developed using free hand SQL(Sql Query) using a DB Link

    Hello All,
    A report to be developed based on query in OBIEE dashboards
    Select Query -----1
    UNION
    Select Query------2
    First select query is coming from one database schema and second is coming from the other.
    Is there any way to develop the report using free hand SQL based on a DB link?
    Is there any feature to use Database link (DB link)?
    Thank in Advance,
    SMA

    What you ask is the direct database request capabilities :
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_direct_database_request
    But you can also use the federated query capabilities of the repository to model a star schema with two star schema from two different data source.

  • Can I Re-Map Cube using XML template ?

    Hi,
    I'm running the latest versions of olap 10g (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 ) and AWM (10.2.0.1).
    I have a cube built with compressed composites partioned on time.
    I am loading 4 different hierarchies on the location dimension. (the lowest level
    are different cuts of data and not related). I can successfully load and aggregate the cube by re-mapping a different relational table to the cube and maintaining the cube in AWM . This requires 4 passes. Everything works fine and I get the desired result.
    The issue is that when I try to automate this ..the load (sql script I saved in AWM) doesn't know that the cube was re-mapped even though I saved a new sql script for each of the 4 passes. It takes the initial mapping on each load.
    I need to re-map a different relational table to the cube in between loads. (Can't use a view because I'm mapping to a different level in the cube each time).
    Is there a way I can use part of the XML template to accomplish this ? I can save
    an XML template for each mapping but don't know how to read it back in with out
    blowing away the existing cube.
    Thanks & A Verry Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to All !!
    Mike

    watrost,
    thanks for your reply...
    I did infact try what you describe thru olap DML. It worked fine when the cube was not defined with compressed composites. When using compressed composites the load of the measures into the cube worked fine but the aggregation was so slow ... On my test cube it took over 1 hour to aggregate 1 variable that took 2 minutes using the script that AWM generated and about 5 minutes with the olap dml and no compressed composites. On a larger cube with production data I canceled the OLAP dml aggregation after 24 hours. The AWM script ran in 1 hour. I need the compressed composites because of the sparsity and size of the cube without them. Do you know if there is any additional code needed for aggregation when compressed composites are involved. I used the aggmap generated by AWM for the aggregation
    thanks

  • Can't load a page using Network Solutions website tool builder using Firefox 5.0.1; they recommend using 3.6! How do I get a copy of 3.6?

    I use Network Solution's Website Tool Builder to manage several websites. Since upgrading Firefox to 5.0.1, some of the pages no longer load and therefore I can't edit them. The sites come up okay in the browser, but not in NetSol's editor. When I called their tech support, they said it was a Firefox problem. They said I need to use Firefox 3.6...Is there a way for me to get a copy of that version of Firefox?

    I need to access Network Solutions website builder too. It isn't compatible with Internet Explorer v9, Chrome v13, or Firefox v5! I believe Firefox v6 is out now. This is a Network Solution's problem. What's involved in rolling back? Can you still get add-ons, plugins, and extensions for such an older version? You can't save your personal preferences can you?

  • Can we report on BW table using BW query

    Hello All,
    I want to know if we can create a DSO on top of a table created in BW system (NOT ECC system).
    In this case can we do a DSO with table as a data source or something similar to that.
    There are no Key figures. Actually the scenario is if we create comments in BPC, it will be stored in BW in a dynamically generated table for a Environment and Model combination.
    Therefore I want to know the possibility.
    Kind Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    You can create custom data source(RSO2) on your bw tables and load them dso or cube.
    You can create one dummy key fig like number and in transformations you can use constant as 1.
    like ecc side we can create custom data sources in bw as well.
    after that you can do reporting on cube or dso.
    Thanks

  • Using COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for WebI...?

    I saw a job posting today that listed a requirement that I am pretty sure is IMPOSSIBLE...
    WebIntelligence report experience with using COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for BOBJ is an important skill.
    Data sources for client will be both COGNOS and SAP.
    Now, it wouldn't be the first time that a client spec asked for the IMPOSSIBLE- but it got me to wondering if maybe I am wrong in my understanding that COGNOS 8 still uses PowerPlay cubes that are 100% proprietary and can only be read with the CONGOS report-design tools.
    Is there actually a "supported" way to use COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for BOBJ...?
    Maybe using some COGNOS equivalent of QAAS...?
    I have no intention of applying for this job - but would like to know if it is technically possible.

    It's been more than a week since I posted this question and nobody came up with a "YES" here or on the BOB Forums...so I am going to close this question as an IMPOSSIBLE request.
    Based on the current technology - COGNOS cubes can not be used as an infoprovider/data source for WebIntelligence.

  • Can not report data thru PI sheet

    Dear Gurus,
    I have configured basic PI sheet.
    I have selected few characteristics like start date, end date, qty to be confirmed...
    I can see PI sheet in CO58/CO60. But the characteristics are not editable. How can I report the data using PI sheet?
    System copied standard data in PI sheet and this is not editable. How can I change this.
    I don't know but if this information helps you to understand the problem
    Process instruction type : 1
    characteristic : PPPI_START_DATE, PPPI_END_DATE, PPPI_YIELD_TO_CONFIRM
    Do let me know if any further information is required to understand and resolve issue.

    Basically I want to report data (eg consumption) using PI sheet... I have used process instruction type 2. I've selected process instr. category in O12C and click on PI assistant, on next screen i chose simple data request -- message category to be used PI_CONS -- select input/output for characteristics -- specify text for characteristics --  on next screen for characteristics with processing as 'Input' i've selected variable and finaly when I click on ABAP list.. it displays me a PI sheet.
    The same process instr. category has been assigned in recipe. At the time of order release, i've activated automatic control recipe generation. But still at the time of release I am not able to generate control recipe. and system is giving above mentioned error message?
    Am i missing something?
    I want to report data using PI sheet.. Please guide how can I do the same. If the above mentioned config is not correct, please suggest how to go about it?

  • Building Drill through reports from aso cube using odi in webanalysis11.1.3

    I need some urgent help as i have a important requirement for an essbase aso cube .I was trying to establish a database connection to build a drill through report in webanalysis from oracle datawarehouse.the integration tool which we are using to get data from oracle datawarehouse to hyperion is odi.My question are
    1) Can drill through reports be built using odi like eis from an aso cube?if yes whats the procedure?
    2) is there any alternate ways to bring transaction level or relational data for reporting in webanalysis?
    regards,
    praveen.
    Edited by: user13070887 on Oct 11, 2010 3:48 PM

    Hi Glenn,
    We tried optimizing the drill through SQL query but actually when we run the directly in TOAD it takes *23 secs* but when we do drill through on the same intersection
    it took more than 25 mins. Following is our query structure :
    (SELECT *
    FROM "Table A" cp_594
    INNER JOIN "Table B" cp_595 ON (cp_594.key = cp_595.key)
    WHERE (Upper(cp_595.*"Dim1"*) in (select Upper(CHILD) from (SELECT * FROM DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL') WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1 START WITH PARENT = $$Dim1$$ CONNECT BY PRIOR CHILD = PARENT UNION ALL select Upper(CHILD) from DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL' AND REPLACE('GL_'||CHILD, 'GL_IC_', 'IC_') = $$Dim1$$))
    And ----same for 5 more dimensions
    Can you suggest some improvement ? Please advice.
    Thanks

  • Building & deploying cubes in OWB (can we do these by using XML scripts)

    Hi Guys,
    Building & deploying cubes in OWB (can we do these by using XML scripts).
    Is it possible in OWB?
    Please help me ASAP..

    Hi, i managed to work out a solution with my web host.
    The problem was that they are using Apache to process all incoming http requests then only forwarding specific requests to tomcat.
    So by entering the port number after the domain ie www.mydomain.com:8080/ the http request went directly to tomcat and was processed correctly.
    Furthermore my web host configured apache so all requests go straight to tomcat so now the port number isn't even required and all is well with the world again!
    except... navigating to different pages in my site does not update the url correctly.
    For example the site loads index.jsp when entering www.mydomain.com/ but when navigating to another page (i.e. photo.jsp) the photo.jsp page loads ok but the url is updated to www.mydomain.com/faces/index.jsp which is not correct. When refreshing the photo.jsp page it reloads the index.jsp page because of the incorrect url.
    any ideas...
