Enabling reports

  1. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Registry Maintenance.
  2. Select System > Archiving > Archive_mode_enabled.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Select True in the Variable Value field.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Toolkit > Cognos Mapping.

    A list of editable reports are displayed. For a list of reports that support the Archive View Mode, see Supported Core Reports.

    ARCHIVE_MODE_ENABLED is a global registry setting designed to indicate whether or not the archive view mode is enabled. If both ARCHIVE_MODE_ENABLED and CGMAP_ARCHIVE_VIEW registry settings are set to TRUE, this setting enables a report level parameter to enable or disable the archive mode. This value is then passed to the Cognos Server to allow toggling between available schemas (TRUE—ARCHIVE and FALSE—WORKBRAIN).

  8. Click Edit next to the CGmap name field.
    The Cognos Mapping Detail page is displayed.
  9. Select the Cgmap Archive View checkbox.
    The CGMAP_ARCHIVE_VIEW registry setting indicates whether or not an individual report supports the archive view. All queried tables that can be archived to report accurate archive results, must also exist in the archive schema.
  10. Click Save.
  11. Click Return to form listing. The Cgmap Archive View checkbox on the Cognos Mapping page is displayed.
    Provided that you have valid security permissions, the Archive View Mode checkbox is displayed on the corresponding report in the Selection Parameters page.

If you select the Archive View Mode checkbox, ensure that the date range specified in the Start Date and End Date fields corresponds to archived data. Otherwise, the system attempts to access production data which produces no results in the report. Similarly, if the Archive View Mode checkbox is cleared and the date range does not correspond to production data, the report again produces no results.
