the installation documentation and the user interface for the installation

Korean, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian).
Viewing Lineage Information
A data item's lineage information traces the
item's metadata back through the package and the package's data sources.
Viewing lineage information ensures that you add the correct data
items to a report.
Hiding Entries
You can hide entries in IBM Cognos Connection
and IBM Cognos Administration, such as reports, packages,
pages, folders, jobs, data sources, portlets, and so on. This functionality
is most often used with drill-through reports.
Enhanced Drill-through Capabilities
In earlier versions of IBM Cognos 8, model-based drill-through supported
only reports created in Analysis Studio, Query Studio, or Report Studio
as targets. Other types of drill-through targets are now supported.
For example, you can drill through to PowerPlay® Studio reports saved in the content
store, or to a package that contains a PowerCube.
