BI Data Analytics

Issue: Authoring a drill-through, selecting the ellipses beside"Select a report"shows Team Content instead of Target report path. In Cognos 10, when authoring a drill-through in Report Studio, after selecting a report, any subsequent request to select a report would bring the author to the target report directory (Public Folders > Folder1 > Folder2 > report). The same action in Cognos Analytics 11.0 brings the author to the root directory Team content. If the target report is several levels below Team content, the author has to navigate down the folder structure every time requiring many additional mouse clicks and consuming time. Having the dialog bring bring up the target report's directory would save considerable time in authoring drill-through definitions Solution: Raised RFE with IBM https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=114618

1. When running report, we got error for oracle driver missing. It was restored by IBM to resolve the issue  2. Non-interactive Reports drill through to Excel doesn't work. An interim fix was applied to Cognos 11.0.8.  3. Excel output based reports were taking more than 5 minutes to run. Root cause identified was Image folder access/path was not enabled and causing report to stuck for 5 minutes. IBM resolved it via PMR.  4. When calling reports in Dashboard as web page url, drill through defined via image not working. It was working fine in 11.0.7. Issue is under investigation with IBM.  5. Data sets can not be scheduled with dependencies to each other thus limiting it's usage to sumarrize data over base data sets. They can't be added to Job or Event Studio to define auto refresh. As per IBM, This is planned for future release.  6. Reports name can't be changed dynamically based on parameters. There is RFE raised for this enhancement. 7. Audit database timezone
