The issue log, change request log, change notice log, and variance log reports were available in Cognos of Windchill Business Reporting (WBR). However, these log reports for Cognos are removed starting with Windchill 12.0. If you are upgrading from Windchill 11.2.1.0 with WBR or earlier versions to Windchill 12.0 with WBR, you will still see the Cognos reports for these log reports.
To delete the Cognos reports for these log reports, see Deleting a Report Using a Loader.
If you choose not to delete the Cognos reports for these log reports, then reports will be considered as custom Cognos reports and will not be supported by PTC.
