On the login panel there is a check box labeld 'automatically login' which seems to imply that if you check that once you won't have to login again in the future. But that's not true for me. I check it - nothing happens. What does this really do and how do I use it? With BGA you can embed the config...

I wasn't aware that you could perform batch edits within Business Glossary. I had been using the export/import feature to make mass changes. The online batch editor is SWEET. Great overview and demo within this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O24jNnt1tpY&feature=plcp-a&list=PL1...

Is there a version of Business Glossary anywhere available for the Apple operating system? If not - is there another way to accomplish this? Through Citrix or something similar? Has anyone done this?

Hi -
Which release of Cognos are you on?
Which release of Information Server are you on?

I know with 8.7 you can more easily use the Metadata Import Manager instead of the bridge option.

We are getting ready to roll out Business Glossary Anywhere (BGA) to the enterprise. Recommendation is to uninstall first. The bat file provided for the silent uninstall and silent install works fine on the XP machine. However on the Windows 7 machine it removed the book icon from the system tray - ...

[quote="ray.wurlod"]So, resolved now? Not too bad a turnaround time to produce a patch.[/quote]

I know! A bit under 2 months. I feel really honored to have gotten that level of service.

I'm puzzled by how IBM has implemented the Steward role in Business Glossary. Usually, Data Stewards are the persons responsible for the definition, use, quality, and integrity of specific data. So I expected that making someone a Steward for a category or term would mean that others with author abi...

Hey - Was just notified by IBM regarding my PMR 44536,550,000. The engineering team has completed the patch and they gave me the URL for download. If you are having this same problem - where the call from Cognos to the BG won't return the term if it contains a special character (like a % in my situa...

Hi All - We need to implement version control for our DataStage jobs and we are looking at Subversion. There are several older posts on DSXchange indicating success with Subversion. We have it installed and working - but wondering about best options for the actual process on top of the technology. I...

We have purchased Business Glossary (BG) as well as Business Glossary Anywhere (BGA). One of our requirements is to allow Cognos users to 'look up' terms in the business glossary to see the definition and source system (custom field - not lineage) for a label on a report or a field in a query studio...

In InfoSphere 8.7 there is now Metadata Asset Manager in addition to Metadata Workbench. So I'm trying to understand the uses and benefits of each. It appears that Metadata Asset Manager gives you a much more robust and friendlier way to import the metadata for technical assets outside of InfoSphere...

I'm interested in better understanding whether workflow (to isolate published terms from terms in development) is being used successfully and how broadly.

HA! Just now followed the link in Ray's email above to the Dilbert cartoon.

Priceless!!!!

Thanks RAY!

It's helpful that the IOD 2012 schedule is now posted! I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the Sunday night IM networking event. It looks like the system that lets you plan your agenda will also let you see who else is attending Appreciate the suggestion about the birds of a feather lunche...

I did log a Service Request with IBM. They have agreed this as a problem and are looking at what needs to be done. Either the documentation for 8.7 needs to say not to use special characters (it doesn't now) or the % sign needs to not throw a wrench. I believe you can track the progress on this as w...
