Title: New Dialog to Set Detail Filter
Post by: Cognos_Jan2017 on 05 Sep 2018 10:38:43 AM
We subscribe to a Web App and have been told it utilizes CA 11.0.11.

This morning trying to add a Detail Filter resulted in a different Dialog Box
which errors.  Noticed don't see a Validation icon.

The attached file displays the new Dialog Box.

Has anyone seen this yet, and how to enter a Detail Filter?

TIA, Bob

We had a lighning strike which messed up our Outlook, Skype, and Office 365.

Apparently the Lightning strike also made our Cloud App give the weird
Detail Filter Dialog Box I had attached.

When our Systems recovered, the Cognos 11.0.11 Dialog Box for Detail Filter
returned to what we have been using.

That looks like all the right buttons in all the wrong places -- like a css file was not found or the wrong one was used.

Glad it worked out for you.

WOW !  I wonder what will happen when an earthquake shakes the floor of the Cognos server ! I think the damage would depend on the magnitude of the quake ! Can anybody guess and tell me so that I can be prepared ?

You laugh, but I remember someone showing me some IBM servers toppled like dominoes in the aftermath of a quake. Apparently they were all spinning along quite happily and the only damage was to the actual racks.

Our World HQ bldg has around 700 team members.  It nailed us per perhaps 3+ hours.

There were ALL kinds of weird things happening.  I thought we were under a major virus attack ...then everything settled down.
