Title: Cognos, modifying canned report. Namespace of tag doesn't exist
Post by: csw on 15 Jan 2015 11:03:36 AM
I want to modify a canned report to add more information to what it already provides. However, when I go to one of the data items, to see where it originates from so that I can know where to add my own data item from, I don't understand the expression given.

For instance, the finished Query has a data item Patients Name. Here is the expression for Patients name:[NO Group No Resource].[CPT With OUT Resource Proivder No Groups].[Patient Name]

However, there is no namespace[NO Group No Resource].

Can anyone help?

Maybe the model was modified and the package was re-published after the report was made.

Hello csw,
If the report is not running and errors out, complaining about the absence of this namesapce [NO Group No Resource], then most likely what cognostechie suggests is correct.
Else, if the report is still running fine but you do not see the namespace from any of the studios, that would mean, the namespace was "hidden" during publish. Basically "Hide Component and Children" was selected for this particular namespace. If you have access to the FM model, open the package definition and you should see a "small white check mark inside a green triangle" next to this namespace in the package definition.
