Workspace Cognos Analytics

easy to show the SQL query and result

Currently, Cognos can show the SQL statement of the CQM model, but in the case of the DQM model, cannot show the SQL statement and just the MDX statement only. Most customers want the SQL statement. To view the SQL syntax, we must save it as a log file through a JDBC trace. To consume on the Web, we need to set up audit logging, but the system performance is degraded for auditing.
For report authors, we should support to consume the "report preview/SQL query/data preview" in a consistent menu in each report.
The data analysis solution must be able to verify the SQL & data without complicated settings for report author & user.

    Generated SQL is available for DQM pure relational packages, but for DQM DMR packages since there is an in-memory cube generated on the fly when a report runs, the reporting based on the cube hence MDX is shown.

    Due to competing priorities, we have no intentions of showing the SQL in addition to the MDX for DQM DMR from a report. Of course the SQL is available but enabling JDBC tracing.
