Generate Log Reports - the External Data: Test - Run Tab

In this window you can print a test report to check what will be imported and not, when importing external files via an import specification.

Procedure

  1. On the Transfer menu, click Log Reports. The Log Reports window opens.
  2. The External Data: - Test Run tab displays files that have been imported using the test run with the menu option Transfer/External Data/Import..., i.e. data with origin from a system outside IBM Cognos Controller.
  3. If you want to discard some information select the check boxes Discarded by Filters and/or Discarded as they hold summation account. The window displays the imports you can generate log reports for.
  4. Select the All Users check box at the bottom left side of the screen if you also want to display the files imported by other users to the same database.
  5. Select an import log and click the Preview or the Print button to generate the report.

Results
