Functions metadata not available.

Troubleshooting


Problem

Trying to add a Query calculation in Cognos Analytics 11 reporting shows no functions at all below 'Avalable Components'. Instead of the function list 'Functions metadata not available.' is displayed.

Symptom

Trying to add a Query calculation results in: Functions metadata not available.

Resolving The Problem

To see the available functions list our product needs to have information about the package and the datasource.

Solution:

Please select a package before adding a 'Query calculation' in reporting and Cognos Analytics will show the functions. Now they can be used in the expression.
