Title: Cognos Analytics 11.0.4- multiple packages issue
Post by: DeeEss on 22 Nov 2016 07:18:05 AM
Hi Gurus,

I have recently upgraded to cognos 11.0.4 from 11.0.2.
I wish to use the multiple package functionality. I face an issue when trying to test the 'add multiple packages' to a report functionality ( new feature of this version).
Step 1: If I include PKG_1 first to the report studio report, it is added as expected.
Step 2: When I add another package PKG_2 to the same report , it is also added, but does not show the correct dimensions and measures as expected under PKG_2
It shows same dimensions and measures as the first package( PKG_1) under the second package added (PKG_2) which is not correct.

Attaching an example

Any help would be appreciated

I tried this in one of my test environments as was able to build a report from two packages (see attachment). Send me a message and we can discuss further.

Just as a quick sanity check... Are you sure both packages were published using Dynamic Query Mode?

Yes MFGF. The packages are published from FM in Dynamic Query Mode.

Hi Stan,
Yes would like to discuss. However i notice one difference, in your screenshot, i see a settings kind of icon, near the + sign for adding package. I do not see this in my environment. Do you have v.11.0.4 installed in your test environment?
