Interactive Filtering in Cognos 11 Dashboard

[a.chamkeri]

Hi All,

I have around 4 visualisations on my Dashboard. One of them is a Donut. When I click on each of the categories all the other visualisations filter correctly. However when clicking on one of the categories it gives an "Cannot copy 25 characters to varchar of length 8" error in all the other visualisations.

I am using Cognos 11.0.5.

Any inputs on what may be the issue will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ajay

Hi,

What is the data source being used for the dashboard? Sounds like there's an incorrect column definition somewhere under the covers in your data? It thinks a specific data item is 8 characters in size, and somehow you're filtering on a 25-character value?

Hi MF,

I am  using a Cognos Package as a datasource for the Dashboard.

Sounds to me like there's a problem with the way your package is modelled. I'd talk to the person responsible for your packages and show them the issue if I was you...
