Team,

Can we create a Event Studio Report without a package.

If Yes, I wanted to Execute the Event Studio Report only when the records are fetched. If there are No Records then Event Studio report should not Trigger.

Thanks!
Kiran

Hi,

A package is the only mechanism by which an Event Studio agent has access to data. It won't have any access to records without a package. It's a bit like asking if you can drive a car without any wheels :)

Now that FM is deprecated, how would Event Studio work then since FM won't ship with Cognos v12?

Hi,

Framework Manager hasn't been deprecated - it is still current and ships with Cognos 12 versions. Map Manager was deprecated for the 12.0 release - is that what you're thinking of?

Thanks for the good news. I had a consultant working with IBM who said FM no longer supported. May be that was last year which caused a lot problems in trying to develop things for my firm in Cognos. Now I feel really good.

It's unfortunate that you were misinformed in this way - someone working closely with IBM should have known better. I wonder how many other people have been misled by this person?
If it helps, I worked for 11 years for a Cognos business partner, then I joined Cognos and was with them for the next 10 years until they were acquired by IBM, and I stayed with IBM for the next 11 years. I now work for an IBM distributor - approaching 6 years. If you add all those up, it comes to a lot of years of Cognos experience. Hoping that gives you confidence in what I posted vs what the consultant told you :-)

Cheers!

Of course, you are totally a very reliable source, and knowing what you said about your Cognos experience, I don't think I can find someone more experienced than you.

I have also read elsewhere (Stack Overflow) that IBM is intending to deprecate FM and Event Studio, so I took the consultant word as authentic.
Glad it is not.

Thanks for the kind words. I will be retiring in a couple of months - all good things must come to an end :-)

I moved your post about Active Report Controls to the Cognos Analytics > Reporting board in a new topic. To create a new topic, you can navigate to the board you want to post in (for example Reporting), then use the New Topic button above the list of posts in the board.
