    Changing the source of a dataset

    As a data analyst I want to be able to change the source of a dataset. This is necessary when it has been moved or the location name has been changed. We know where the source is, but there's no way we can change the source.

    Customizable Table Naming in IBM Cognos Dataset Store

    I have a suggestion for enhancing the Dataset Store feature in IBM Cognos, which automatically creates a table in DB2 upon uploading a CSV file. Currently, the table names are generated with a pattern that includes a prefix 'Cog' followed by two s...

    Implement a possibility to configure the ctrlChars option for dataset storage in DB2

    When we enable the dataset storage in DB2 and attempt to pull in data warehouse data into a dataset, we get a failure to store the data due to DB2 complaining about ascii characters below 31. CSV and Excel files seems to be stripped during upload,...

    Case of letters in objects paths

    There is a problem when switching between MSSQL and Oracle databases. Both databases may have the same structure and naming convention. In MSSQL, object paths use a naming convention where only the first letter of each entity is capitalized (e.g.,...
