Rules for creating new reports

The following rules should be followed when creating a new report:

• Never make changes to the Sterling™ Business Intelligence package, or add or modify reports within it. From release to release, Sterling Order Management System Software may provide new deployment files. These new files supersede the previously released files in the Analytics package.
• To add new reports, open the Analytics package model in Framework Manager. Rename the package (for example, SSC_NEWNAME_Analytics). Save this package and publish it to the content repository.
• After publishing the renamed package, a new package folder (named, for example, SSC_NEWNAME_Analytics) is created along with the previous Business Intelligence on Cognos® Connection. All new reports should be added to the new package, and any changes to the model (for example, new or modified query subjects) should also be made to the new package in Framework Manager.
