Title: Report Package Folders (Blue)
Post by: craigalaniz on 21 May 2014 11:44:54 AM
Hi All

In Cognos Connection, when I look in the Report Package Folders most of them are empty, is this how it is suppose to be? Also some have reports in them. I read that this is not a good place to store reports, is this accurate?

Thanks

Craig

There is no correct answer to this. The reports should go where it makes most sense to put them. That could either be within package folders, or alternatively within non-package folders. Usually it's the security requirements and the structure of the reporting solution that drive this decision.

Cheers!

Hi Craig,

I agree with MFGF on this.
