suppose there are 15 countries like (US, UK,
ENGLAND,INDIA,JAPAN.......)i want a value prompt in the
report and this value prompt should contain groups like
group1(US,UK,ENG), group2(INDIA,US,UK), group3
(ENG,JAPAN,INDIA)and in the value prompt the values should
be group1,group2,group3 how can we do this?

Answer Posted / dhanu

create country prompt with 2 dynamic prompt value dispay
value WESTERN_COUNTRIES>use vale (1)ASIAN_COUNTRIES (2)

u can add more static values if u want.

in report query put filter

write a if statement or case
if (?country?)=1
then country in (USA,UK)
else country in (INDIA, CHINA)


case when ?country? =1
then query.country in (us,uk)
when ?country?=2
then query.country in(INDIA,srilanka)
end

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!
