What is the difference between cognos 8.2 and cognos 8.3?

Answer Posted / rahul khajuria

We faced a strange behavious while migrating reports from
Cognos 8.2 to Cognos 8.3.

We have created a class in the model and in that class we
created various prompts.

Different reports are created using these prompts and some
prompts are required in some reports and others are
required in other.

We faced an issue instead of not using the prompts in some
reports the report is prompting for those prompts which are
available in the model but not used in the report.

Does anybody else faced this type of issue and have any
solution for this?

Thanks in advance
