Dear All,
Good Day.
I am new learner to Cognos Planning, I have few queries
1) I have created couple of D-Lists D-cubes and saved them under a library (In a folder on Windows XP), but when I look into the file system (library) there are certain files created ( Ex: NLDLIST.D0) in the library file system, how can I identify which file is D-list and which is a D-cube.
2) I have create a file map (Source file exists in d drive) in planning analyst and I saved this file map in a library (in c drive), but when I check for the file map in the library file system it is not available, but I can access this file map through planning analyst. Can you please tell me where does the file maps gets stored by default and how to delete them.
Thank You,
Kalyan
You do not ever want to edit or delete these library file objects.
You can maintain all of these objects in Analyst under File/Library/Objects. In this screen you can delete, open, rename, or even move objects between libraries.

Hy. Thats answer is only you have to know. No delete from the C: any file, because is not the way.
The correctly way is Flie/Library... like bi4u2 said.
Kalyan,
My question to you is why you need to know the different file type extensions. It seems you have a requirement that you haven't mentioned that might be solved another way.
In case this helps:

As others have said, typically these objects should all be managed within Analyst and not in Windows Explorer, directly.

Kalyan,
Alternatively, you can open your object in Analyst - whether it is a d-cube, d-list, A-table then go to the File Menu > Summary Info and on the General tab it will show you the exact location of where the object is saved in the directory. I used this one time when I changed a d-list and needed to restore the d-list from a back up copy.
