Impromptu Changing Catalog (Do we want BI queries here !)

[Byron Welch]

Since my name got dragged into it I would say that in general I would prefer
to keep this list specific to PowerHouse.  While even I have been lured by
the "Dark Side" my heart is still with PowerHouse.  

For a good Impromptu(Cognos BI) listserver I recommend the one sponsored by
the IT Toolbox.  Try the URL
http://businessintelligence.ittoolbox.com/  
and go to COGNOS-L.  They have about 2 or three Cognos BI questions every
day so it is not overwhelming to keep up with.

On another note I will be presenting a paper on using QUIZ to generate HTML
output at the user conference.  I have done this two or three times with
good results.  IF anyone else has been down this road I would appreciate a
note on any gotcha's you encountered and how you put these systems in
production.

Can't we have a 'twilight zone', just a bit of the 'dark side'?

I too find that more and more sites are trying to intergrate ADT and BI
tools, particularly Impromptu.  (I don't think it's a BI tool anyway)
