Business Viewpoint Studio; Ibm Infosphere Warehouse Cubing Services - IBM Cognos User Manual

Aggregate Values in Imported Query Items
When you import a Report Studio report, a Query Studio report, or a package as a
data source where aggregate values do not match the source package or report,
you receive an error message if the report or package contains an aggregation rule
that is not supported by Cognos Transformer.
When an aggregation rule is not supported, Cognos Transformer defaults to the
Sum rollup rule.
Data Preview
Data preview windows may not show data rows grouped or sorted as they appear
in a report; however, this does not impact how Cognos Transformer uses the data
when building cubes.
Extra Query Items
When you create a data source using a report that contains groupings, the report
query sometimes shows extra query items.
The extra query items are created to support grouping, and should be ignored
when selecting the data items for the Cognos Transformer query.
Multilingual Data in Reports
When you create a data source using a report, and the report includes data in
multiple languages, some of the language characters may not display properly in
the Cognos Transformer Data Source Viewer. These characters are displayed as a
dashed line (--).
Cognos Transformer does not support reports with multilingual data as a data
source. When the operating system locale is properly set, Cognos Transformer
displays the characters for that locale.
