Set options for committing data

You can choose to skip the commit confirmation step when committing data. You can also choose to commit valid intersections automatically.

You can hide the confirmation dialog box.
  • If you are working with an Exploration View, click Options, and then click IBM® Planning Analytics. Select the Hide commit confirmation check box.
  • If you are working with a Quick Report, in the Commit Changes dialog box, select Hide commit confirmation. When you commit data, the Commit Changes dialog box is not displayed and valid values are sent to the TM1® server. If any errors are found, the Error Report dialog box is displayed.

To turn confirmation back on, click Options, and then click IBM Planning Analytics. Clear the Hide commit confirmation check box. You can also turn confirmation on or off using the CommitWithoutConfirmation setting in the CognosOfficeReportingSettings.xml file:

<setting name="CommitWithoutConfirmation">False</setting>

You can choose to commit valid values automatically. In the Error Report dialog box, select Automatically Commit Valid Intersections.

To turn this feature off, change the BulkUploadAutoCommitValid setting to False in the CognosOfficeReportingSettings.xml file:

<setting name="BulkUploadAutoCommitValid">False</setting>

On Windows 7, the CognosOfficeReportingSettings.xml configuration file is installed in c:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Cognos\Office Connection.
