Portlet intercommunication question

Hi All,
I am using cognos 8.4 and am trying to create a dashboard. I have 3 portlets and want to use portlet 1 and 2 as source and 3 as target. ie, after my dashboard is rendered , i want to be able to drill thru either portlet number 1 or 2 - and results to be displayed on portlet 3. I have drill down defined on the reports.

IT seems to work fine when I have 1 source and 1 target, but when I try 2 source and 1 target, and click on portlet1, the results are displayed on both portlet2 and portlet 3 , instead of just portlet 3.
IS there any work around for this? I am using the same channel for all three(=portlet 3 channel name)

thanks a lot
DG

Hi DG,
I am assuming that you have setup portlet 3 as the only Receiver in this scenario and the other 2 portlets as Transmitters. See if a Drill-through will work better from portlets 1 & 2 to portlet 3.
