Bursting in 11.0.3 vs 11.1.2

[MichaelB]

Good afternoon!

We recently upgraded to 11.1.2 and even through all the research I did prior, I did not see that there were any material changes to bursting functionality in any versions between 11.0.3 and 11.1.2. However, I am seeing it operate differently that we are used to. From what I read on IBM's site, charts can't be rendered via bursting correctly unless they explicitly have a master detail link. This is different than what we had in 11.0.3, where for a bar chart we would be able to color one bar differently than the other 100 to show where a value fell on the distribution. This was done by having a CASE statement in a data item in a query that referenced another query that housed the bursting info. Essentially, it was:

Code Select Expand

CASE
WHEN [GroupID]  in([qBG_BurstingGroups].[GroupID]) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END

From here, I could color the bar based on the value. However, now in 11.1.2, all GroupID's return with a value of 1 when bursting, instead of just the Group that is being rendered. Same issue on a bubble chart where a bubble was differently colored if it was the Group's report.

Is anyone aware of functionality that has changed in this span of versions? Does anyone know of a different way of implementing what I am attempting to implement? It would seem that this is something that Cognos would be built to do, so I can't figure out what is causing the difference.
