Reportnet Interview Questions

1. Check that your query processing property is set to Database Only and not Limited Local. 2. There are Cognos functions and database functions (DB2 for example). Using one versus the other may make ...

To increase the performance of a report while running
- set the governers
-joins shuld be less
-Aggregate table should be there while using group functions

there will be a dead lock while running a report against the OLTP database.so better not to do this

There is no security as such at reoprt level.you define it at the frame work level.
it would be package level, object level , row level in framework manager.

Use repeaters to repeat items when you run the report. For example, you can use repeaters to create mailing labels, including customer names and addresses. To build a repeater, drag the Repeater or R...

Repeater table is used to create mailing lables only.it contains addressof the companies

This is only half true when you hide any object.but here it should hide depending on user so it should add object level security in frame work.

Select the Prompt that you want to hide and the from the properties pane click OK box type, Select Hide.

The Native SQL is what is being passed to the database. Where the Cognos SQL is the entire SQL used to perform the SQL. In certain scenarios, the native SQL will be a subset of the Cognos SQL which may indicate that the application will do some local processing.

Cognos SQL:By default Cognos FWM uses Cognos SQL to create and edit Query Subjects. Contain metadata from multiple Data sources.

Native SQL :But we cannot use Native SQL in a Query subject that references more than one Data source in the Project. Contain metadata from single Data Source.

To avoid this problem , The following steps you need to be followed

1. Delete the jce1_2_1.jar file
2. Download  jce1_2_2.jar file  from http://java.sun.com/products/jce/index-122.html
3. Replace jce1_2_2.jar file

I Think you are using ReportNet 1.1 MR. 
Cryptography Jar files supports in Microsoft Flatforms upto May 2004.
You need to download new jar files from Cognos.   Otherwise simply change the system date between Apr 15th 2004 to May 30th 2004.   This works perfect.

Here we can use display value entered that means text prompt, when the user know about which data prompt has. For ex.  The states of Ind.

Another way is selected by a user by using Select & Search prompt or Value Prompt

We have a function called param Display Value. By using this function we can display the parameter value selected in prompt.

Maximum 5000 values displayed

A model is normally structured into two layers/views. Database/ Physical view and Business/ Presentation view. These can be implemented using Namespaces.You import the metadata into Physical layer fro...

1. In CRN1.1MR1 you cannot add filters from toolbar button whereas CRN1.1MR2 can.

2. In CRN1.1MR1 you get incorrect date format when report is executed in Excel format whereas in CRN1.1MR2 you get the correct date format.
3. In CRN1.1MR1 you cannot export Model from FM whereas in CRN1.1MR2 you can

hi dhana
         Can you please provide the java script statement for it or any related example.

Thanks

You can solve this issue by placing the HTML item which contains JavaScript, change the name of the dataprompt into JavaScript name, then you can specify the month start date.
Let me know if you have any queries.

testing of a report

as per the mark-ups we will test the report

Drabacks of Impromptu:

1) Impromptu is windows based application

it takes more than 1 month if the data is available
