Hi All,

I have to add new product and channels in existing hierarchy list- In EP this job was automated in Cognos Manager screen(Macro's)

I am not sure we can automate this task in Cognos TM1. Please advise.

Regards,
Ravi

I haven't used EP so I don't know about its macros, but TI is more than capable of automating a process like this. The only decisions to be made are what the source of the new products/channels will be (another system, manual input, etc) and what the interface will be to feed that data into TI (ODBC, a text file, parameters, etc). Those would be the things that you'd need to decide first.
