Well it sounds simple and I have been seeing the same thing around at Support.cognos.com or other forums.
I am no dummy in terms of Cognos tools (been working with from 2000).
In cognos 8 and above the drill through functionality has been made more complicated.
In older days, it was so easy to setup a drill thru in Transformer and IWR reports.
It was easy to see what parameters being passed between Cube and IWR.
Now it has become an enigma for me how to setup a drill thru from ANANLYSIS STUDIO to Report studio.
I have a cube and a report from the same FM Package.
I just want a simple drill thru from one dimension only. (lets start simple). Say Authorizer, a unique identifier and first name and last name displayed in the ananlysis studio. Behind the scene in Transformer this dimension is having Unique identifier as category code.
In the report studio I have created an optional prompt for this like auth_id = ?auth_id?
In the cognos connection I set up the drill thru definition to [ComptrialCubesource].[Authorizer].[Authorizer].[Authorizer1].[Authorizer - Category Code]
Why the heck it is not working and also how do I know what is being passed to the parameter named auth_id?
For sure Cognos dropped emphasis on this cool feature of drill thru.
If drill thru between AS and RS is so complicated, then forget about setting it against Metric studio etc...
