We're working with CS 4.2 and have installed: ecs_dev_process, ecs_4.1 & dev_reports.

1. Getting into CR & Task queries / rpts was pretty straight forward but just couldn't figure out how to run Object Queries because there was no pre-defined rpt format available ?! Firing a query would always end-up with "Please select a report format".

2. The next step was to login as ADMIN and create a rudimentary Query Rpt format. Here the major problem is - How do we get hold of some of the basic object attributes such as 'status_log' or 'groups' or 'is_product' etc. etc. The default list of object attributes available in the report definition sub-module is not extensive enough.

3. Well, after putting together a make-do simple object rpt template and installing it, the next question you're faced with is - How extensive can the object queries be; is the full set of ccm query constructs supported via the CS interface ? The provided query editor does generate very simple constructs but it also allows you to directly code your query syntax in the box below.
I have been trying, without much luck, to define a "is_member_of" query but it fails with:
"Query failed: Exceeded query limit or query failed to find a match
No results found, or exceeded query limits".
Checking the ccm_ui.log, under the backend %ccm_home%\log\web_sessions\csuser\ gives a familiar message "Warning: Invalid object version name in query: gcsd_release_p0072m#970827".

This gives some hope that the query is being parsed and may yet work after struggling with the quotes and brackets !

4. Then as a User, while attempting to work with object queries, you are surprised to find that you can only Run the defined object query / rpt but cannot save and re-use:
"Cannot save object queries".

Why should this be restricted ? [This is allowed in case of CR & Task queries. Having saved a CR or Task query, thru the User tab, you can edit these saved queries to suit your specific requirement].

5. Finally, it wud be great to know whether we can lift (copy) CR / Task / Object rpt definitions created by others and deploy them into some CS folder WITHOUT having to go through the hassle of defining and installing the rpt from scratch ? Has anybody out there managed to generate any old fashioned reports with plain column headers and detail-lines ? Or has anybody got anything useful with "Metric Operations". Pls share your expertise.

Cheers......
