Which reports show notes?
All IBM® InfoSphere® Information Analyzer reports show notes. Additionally, the Notes Summary report in the Column Summary section shows only notes.
Why are there partially blank pages in my report?
Blank pages can occur in reports with charts because a chart cannot be split across pages. The chart might be moved to the next page, which leaves a blank space in the previous page.
Why is the date or time shown in my report different from the time on my computer?
The data and time fields show the server time at the moment that the report was run.
How can I include aliases in the report?
Select the Show Custom Definitions option in the Specify Report Parameters pane.
What is the purpose of the Indicator Exclusions parameter in the Domain Analysis details report and the Domain Value Profile report?
The parameter specifies that the selected domain indicator type should be excluded from the report.
Why are the duplicate values, total rows, uniqueness values, and distinct values in my primary key reports empty even though the rest of the data is displayed?
To include those values in the primary key reports, select View Duplicate Check in the Primary Key Analysis pane before you run the report.
For some reports, why can't I select the columns in the select sources screen?
For table level reports, you cannot select columns. The reports run on all the columns in the table. The following reports are table-level reports: Column Inferred, Cross Table Domain Analysis, Foreign Key Analysis, and Table Primary Key Analysis.
