Comment File (.cmn) Example

Cognos 8 Business Intelligence Metric Studio
1

Hi experts, I want to ask about cmn file, Iā€™ve created .cmn file to add comment from ETL.

This is my format file:
ABC.001 SC.ABC CAMID(":") CAMID("::Anonymous") TestTestTest 2013-01-01 1156 1 N Remark 13 KPI 2013-01-01

But when I loaded the .cmn file from metric maintenance (ā€œImport and transfer data from files into metric storeā€), it comes with no error and no warning, but I cannot found any comment in metric ABC.001 (I have searched every period in ABC.001).

Anyone knows howā€™s the format for cmn file? Something wrong with my data format?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Edo,

did you look here?
http://www.cogknowhow.com/index.php/library/410-metric-studio-stage-object-note-file-cmn

a trick i use is to add the desired information to an object.
Then export this object type to text.
Open the exported text file and you will see the syntax and format.
