You can set suppression properties for the package published with Framework Manager. These properties determine whether IBM Cognos 8 studio users can choose multi-edge or single edge suppression. The properties also determine the types of values that can be suppressed. Types of values that users can choose to suppress depend on the studio.
When a package is created, the suppression properties are automatically set to true. If you want to change the values on a published package, you must re-publish the package.
In the Project Viewer, click the package you want to modify.
In the Properties tab, find the suppression property and click to select the required value.
Allow Null Suppression - When true, this property makes suppression available to IBM Cognos 8 studio users. When false, suppression is not available in the published package.
Allow Multi-Edge Suppression -When true, users can select multi-edge or single edge suppression options. When false, users will only have access to single edge suppression. The Allow Null Suppression property must also be true.
Allow Access to Suppression Options - When true, users can choose the types of values that will be suppressed, such as zero or missing values. By default, all the types of values are suppressed. The Allow Null Suppression property must also be true.
