BCR Analysis Report

The Budget Change Request (BCR) Analysis report provides a summary and detailed information about the changes processed in a particular period.

The BCR Analysis report, which is generated in PM Compass, displays before and after data for change requests processed for a period and highlights any discrepancies; that is, data that was not processed as planned.

In order to run the BCR Analysis report, you must first set up the BCR Snapshot database using the Cobra Data Tool. The BCR Snapshot database must have a schema that matches your production or source database.

The required scripts to complete the steps in configuring the BCR Snapshot database are located in <Cobra installation directory>\Samples\Cobra84PMCompassBCRScripts.

Attention: The steps to set up the BCR Snapshot database are discussed in detail in “Appendix K: Managing BCR Snapshot Database” of the Cobra 8.4 Installation Guide.

Once the BCR Snapshot database is set up, open PM Compass and access the BCR Analysis Report form, where you can filter the data that you want to in the report, and run the report itself.

Attention: For more information, refer to the topics in the Reports » BCR Analysis Report node of the PM Compass Online Help.
Important: You can only generate the BCR Analysis report in PM Compass, not in Cobra.
