Can you be more specific on the guidelines you are looking for?

Basicly the Contributor configuration Tables and the C8 configuration tables are stored inside a schema user.
Every planning contributor application you create, is stored as a seperate schema user.

What is the plan for this implementation; you are going to do this yourself based on the manuals and this forum, or will you have
an external consultant to help you implement this, and can focus as a source for your questions?

there are no extrenal consultes, client is not very big.. so they do not want to put more money for cognos..

now the question is they maintain database in oracel... now my duty is to study the guidelines and  implement the ECP .

So i need some suggestions from you.


And guide lines which i am supposed to give to my client. meaning, our plan docs.. etc 

3/how to instill confidence to the client that Cognos planning is going to give good results to the orgnisation.
