If you have a report with list and cross tab in the same page. How do you restrict one user can see only the list and the other user can see both.

Answer Posted / seshu

We can do the same by using render variable but if you use the render variable that is better way to take two pages on one page you should have the list and on other page you should have both that are list and crosstab.

use one prompt with static choices that are as follows:
1>List
2>Both

make any boolean variable or string variable where you need to define the condition that if (?promptdisplayvalue?='list')
then
1
else
2
assign that 1 variable to the page where you have list and assign the value of 2 where you have both list and crosstab

I have created a database "TestingDB" in MS SQL Server 2005. I have set the port properties and the Cognos Service is up. But I don't see anything in the Cognos. In the administration i have set the ODBC connection and it tested successfully.If i copy the samples to the appropriate directory then i can see the samples.But I don't know how to do the same thing with my own database "TestingDB". As i have configure the cognos in my company which is having a database (very near to production database).I am a novice in cognos. Please help me out.
