Title: [Solved] Report owner disappeared
Post by: biejorrun on 06 Nov 2008 09:21:43 AM
Dear all,

I have to ask for your help, it's urgent.

About a week ago, an employee who built a lot of reports, left the company. The Active Directory-account got deleted.
Now, all of the reports that this user built, don't have an owner anymore.

My question: do I (as administrator) have to click each and every report and take ownership, or is there a more automated possibility for this problem?
I ask this, because I don't like clicking approx. 400 reports and click another 400 times to take ownership...

Some info: Cognos 8.2, Win2003, no SDK, Active Directory authentication.

I kindly thank you for your responses!

Regards,

Björn

Hello all,

I solved my problem. For who's interested:

I exported the whole package, including all reports that resided in it, and imported it. With the import, I set the owner to the account performing the import, and voilà, problem solved! All reports do have an owner again...

Regards,

Björn
