Cognos Database Dependency

With its unique design NetVisn automatically organizes all databases used by Cognos and identifies the objects using them along with all of the database items. This makes it easy to identify all objects that will be impacted by changes made to the database. NetVisn even makes it possible to make the updates required with its find and replace capability.

Database dependency enables you to:

Selectively filter on objects by type; reports, analyses, queries and models.
Group output along multiple dimensions; location, database, table, column, etc.
Identify specific tables or columns across multiple databases, eg, customer, product ID, etc.

In this example we want to find all objects in Public Folders that have a dependency on the Northwind database.
This is useful for combining the output with other data of putting it in a pivot table.
