Title: Publishing from Planning Manager doesn't work
Post by: Cognos_World on 31 Oct 2011 05:03:37 PM
Hello Gurus,

I have a macro which works from Analyst but doesn't work from Planning Manager.
Also, is there a way to do a single click publish where you don't have to go and setup the Data source every time? I tried using the variables but that has not helped.

And, execution of the publish macro from another macro, this doesn't work either.

I am having 10.1 version.

Any ideas?

Thanks much..

Hey 'World,

So to confirm, you have an analyst macro that triggers a publish.  This runs fine in Analyst, but not when executed from Manager.  When you attempt to run it from Manager, do you receive any errors?

When you say 'single click publish' -- isn't that what a macro is for?  Maybe I'm missing something on this one...

Hi Eric,

For now this has worked out. I had tables in the DB which were not dropped hence the new publish was not happening. (Does it mean CP should prompt for the data source?? This I don't know.. but it worked without prompting for the data source.)
Execution of the publish macro from another macro has also worked..didn't do any changes apart from dropping the tables in the DB.

I need to test this as I am not sure if this is working correctly consistently.

Thanks.
