Analysis Studio Default Analysis report

Recently had a requirement where a blank Analysis Studio report needs to open when you open an existing report and click on new report icon. By default tool tries to put first two dimensions across and the first measure to form a cross tab, to overcome this you can utilize the 'Default Analysis' under Package > More>Modify the package configuration...>Default Analysis.
The report that we setup here will be used as a default view and will open up when you choose default analysis or new icon with in Analysis Studio.
There is an enhancement logged in with cognos to have Get Data Later option to be set as default.

Cognos 8/10 CAMID-User ID/LDAP ID report

I came across this slick KB article on how to get the list of active sessions/users currently on any cognos environment and implemented it. https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21385278 After I got this to work the servlet that runs only retrieves the CAMID and the session start time. I started looking around in the content store tables and was able to successfully  retrieve the CAMID and the associated  LDAP ID/User ID. I made this a query subject in the Audit model and joined it to the security groups table and created a report that will give me User ID, CAMID, AD Group, Name , Email. Query : SELECT  distinct ldap_id,     last_name,     first_name,     email,     objid as CAMID     FROM            (SELECT c33.cmid user_id, UPPER (c33.NAME) ldap_id,                   c1.surname last_name, c1.givenname first_...

How about an Online help forum?

After i started blogging it came to my mind that initially when I was learning or exploring cognos/BI there was no place to go and ask people one on one and get the issue or question addressed. I know there are lot of forums where you can post questions, but the issue is some might be afraid to ask simple questions and some questions might not get answered right away or might even be lost. This gave me an idea for a simple forum where you can get online help from experts.The Professional Network.
