cognos

This is very similar to Cognos Calculate Variance Crosstab (Relational) , but my data source is dimensional. I have a simple crosstab such as this: | 04-13-2013 | 04-13-2014 --------------------------------------- Sold | 75 | 50 Purchased | 10 | 15 Repaired | 33 | 44 Filter: The user selects 1 date and then we include that date plus 1 year ago. Dimension: The date is the day level in a YQMD Hierarchy. Measures: We are showing various measures from a Measure Dimension. Sold Purchased Repaired Here is what is looks like in report studio: | <#Day#> | <#Day#> --------------------------------------

This might be a dumb question since I have not yet fully understood how Cognos BI works. Also, I tried posting this on Stack Exchange, in vain (error with putting tags). My question is - Can Apache Hadoop be used to make Cognos BI work faster ? Or is Cognos doing the same thing which Hadoop does (MapReduce functionality) ? The place where I have started working, uses the Cognos BI suite on top of Sybase IQ (the content store). Apache Tomcat is the web server. What happens sometimes is that Cognos takes a lot of time(almost dies) to generate reports if the data set is large. So can Apache

Actually, I'm working in Cognos 10.1 report studio. In my report, I have two prompts, one is optional and another prompt is required. I've used both the prompt parameters inside the data item for some condition. So, the optional prompt has also turned to required. What should we do to avoid this? We can use #prompt()# for this. Usually, #prompt()# is used to deliberately force the parameter to hold some value. Instead of using the parameter directly, we should use the #prompt()#. For example, Suppose, ?Parameter1? is used in a data item and it holds a integer value, replace it with a #prompt()

I was fortunate enough to not do any cgi-bin .cgi based web development. But generally those who have do not seem to 'miss' those days. A project I recently joined has a performance issue when dealing with the pages that need to communicate to a legacy system that has a CGI-BIN based API. That system is COGNOS 7. The feedback I received to date is that 'COGNOS is slow' but others have reported great success with COGNOS, I am thinking it has more to do with the access via CGI-BIN and not the performance of COGNOS in and of itself. All that said what are the main issues that made CGI-BIN based

I was wondering if anyone would be so kind to provide me with suggestions or even provide me with code that will do this task for me. I am trying to convert to XML so it will be easier to parse.
