Aliases in Advisor - Cognos Express 9.0.0.1

Post by Kyro »

Hey Guys,

I'm implementing Express 9.0.0.1 for a client (I quite like it) but I just have a quick question, anyone know how to get aliases in Advisor?

Since Advisor seems to use the Cognos Package system now I've tried the normal approach to getting aliases to work in framework manager but still nothing...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Ben

ps. Whatever you do with 9.0.0.1, never... never click 'Help' -> 'About Xcelerator'

Ben - if you're talking about Advisor views then just remember it is the same as EV! In the view cross-tab all you need to do is right-click then select Extra > Alias Tables.

To be sure not the most intuitive way of displaying aliases but not too difficult.

What on earth are you doing "implementing EV for a client"? I thought you were full steam ahead trying to get this keystone thing up an running?

Doh! The problem was that I forgot how to do it in EV. Yeah its same thing right. Thats what I posted on TM1Tutorials when explaining the new components of CX.

We have 2 Coders Finishing up the Documentation/Final Testing for Daptech Keystone, I haven't really presented it much yet. I get bored when I'm not implementing something. We do however have a couple of implementations for Keystone in the pipeline for next month/next after. So I picked up a lite contract 2 days a week.

Thanks for the help.
