-----------------What is Singleton?

Answer Posted / sandy

Singleton
A query item that you can insert anywhere in the layout of
your report where there is no query associated. When the
report is run, the singleton object retrieves only the
first row value for that query. Singletons are useful for
adding boilerplate text to a report, such as a company name
or address, to add overall calculations in a report, or to
add multidimensional cell calculations in a report.

Hi, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
