Title: Cognos 8.3 , Fix Pack 4
Post by: Skippystrand on 03 Dec 2009 11:29:46 AM

Good Morning~

What are people seeing in the field, with issues on 8.3, Fix Pack 4 (particularly on BI side)?
Is the Fix Pack changing SQL for reports? Report slow downs?

Any issues on planning side?

I tried FP4 in August, but had to back it out because of a problem sending reports via email.  There may be a patch for that now, but I am just waiting for FP5.  I have a few issues with FP3, but so far have been able to live with them, or have applied a hotfix patch.

I am running 3 Cognos platforms Production/QA/Dev all on 8.3 Fix Pack 4 with no issues.  Installing a Fix Pack should not cause reports or your environment to slow down.  Do you have a test server you could use to test the last fix pack 4?
