Can you specify what you mean by this? Are you referring to users seeing different rendering types?

I am administrator on cognos, each month i run a report in background, it's a burst report, that's why i generate one PDF file per saler.

I run the report with burst option and i record like view of report on cognos  portal.

The assistant must download this PDF files and send to PDG.

She sees the view of report on cognos  portal but she can't view the different version of report and as consequence she can't download the PDF files of salers.

I hope, it's more clearly now.

Thanks for your help.

Oh - I see. You want someone to see all the burst report versions so that they can be manually emailed?

What did you use as the burst key when you set up the burst options? Was it group CAMIDs? If so, you need to make sure that the assistant is a member of each group. He/she will then be able to see the output tied to each group they are a member of group.

Cheers!

The burst key is the saler. If i understand correctly I must to put the assistant in the administrator group? But the assistant doesn't allow to modify the report online.

Hi,

The issue here is that you used individual's CAMIDs as the burst key. This means only they (and Administrators) have access to the generated outputs. You really need to change the design and set up groups with the sellers as members, and burst to the CAMIDs of the groups. This way, you can add the assistant to each group and he/she can also see the outputs.

You should not add the Assistant to the System Administrators group. This will breach your license agreement with IBM, and will put your organization in a very difficult position if/when IBM conduct a Software License Review (license audit).

Excuse me but what's CAMIDs group? I don't understand.

[MFGF]

Excuse me but what's CAMIDs group? I don't understand.

A CAMID is the internal identifier for a security role, group or user. I assume you used CAMIDs as your burst keys? If not, what did you use? How exactly have you configured the burst options in your report?

MF.

[Virgin]

yes i use a code for the saler

[MFGF]

yes i use a code for the saler

Can you give us an example of the codes you used? Are they CAMIDs? How did you reference them in your report? Are they included in a burst table?

If so, it makes sense for you to add some new groups to your Cognos namespace - one for each person you wish to burst to. Add each sales person to the relevant group. Also add the Assistant to every one of these groups. Then use the CAMIDs of the groups to burst to, rather than the CAMIDs of the individuals. Using that approach, the Assistant will have access to all the burst outputs.

Code is 07 for the saler Gilbert BRU
09 for Yves BAILLEUX
...
i think that's not CAMID, but I don't know.
These code are in a table

Hi,

No - these are not CAMIDs. They will look similar to:

CAMID("LDAP:u:uid=cognos muppet,ou=people")

Can you describe in detail how you defined your burst options?

MF.

[Virgin]

I was in burst option and i choose this option (doc word).

Hi,

Ok - so it's the stuff on the right that is important here. You have specified that you are bursting to Email Addresses? What values do you see in the "Nom" item in the Req_Page_1_SIH query?

It looks to me like you might be using email addresses as your burst key?

MF.

[Virgin]

it's a e-mail adress entries manually: 'mulir.josiane@gih.fr'

Ok - so you are not bursting to CAMIDs but to email addresses. In doing that you are tying each output to a specific email address, and the only people who can see all outputs are Administrators.

Since you are bursting to email addresses anyway, why does an assistant have to log in and manually email the burst outputs? Couldn't you simply get the burst process to email them directly?

The alternative is to do as I suggested and create groups, using the CAMIDs of the groups as burst keys.

Cheers!

The assistant must control the data before send to salers, thanks you for your help.

What does that mean, sorry? I don't understand?

Regardless, the best way to have an Assistant intervene in this way is not to burst to email addresses but to set up groups and burst to those.

Cheers!

She looks if the data are on desc order, the colours are good...

Thank you for your help, i am going to look with my manager to set up groups.

Thank you very much.

This is the type of thing that one tests once, and then relies on the expensive IBM software to be able to repeat without fail...

En gros, ton processus est pas optimisé puisque tu envoies un fichier standardisé en rafale (donc normalement directement aux destinataires) mais entre temps il faut que quelqu'un vérifie si les données sont correctes ... il faudrait plutôt s'assurer que dans tous les cas, les données sont correctes, et donc après pouvoir les "burster" sans hésitation directement aux personnes concernées

-------------------------------
Actually, your process isn't optimised because you send standardise files by bursting (so directly to recipient) but meanwhile someone have to test if data is right ... you should check data is right in all scenarios before in order to burst them without any doubt to the relevant persons

(I've do my best)

[Virgin]

Les données sont correctes et c'est moi qui les contrôle mais dans le processus, la direction veut que ce soit elle qui envoie aux commerciaux.

The data are right but direction wants the assistant send the data to the salers.

[TheFrenchGuy]

Ha le management, ok je vois la difficulté.
Donc tu sauvegardes des vues de ton fichier et après c'est à l'assistante de burster le fichier après vérification ?

------------------------------------------
Oh management, ok I can see clearly now.
So, you have to save files view and your assistant burst it after having chek it ?

[Virgin]

C'est exactement cela.

It's exactly this.
