Cognos sdk dev log

An action is a request made to the FM Engine. Actions are XML elements
that contain input parameters. Some actions also have output parameters.
Actions are defined in the CR1Behaviors.xml file, available in the
<c8-location>\templates\bmt\Cr1Model directory.
Some actions do not change the state of the model in the Framework Manager
application and are not typically recorded in the action logs. An example
of actions that are not recorded are DBBrowse and Publish. There are also
some actions that are recorded but they do not change the state of the
model. An example of this type of action is DBRelease.

Modifying the Log Status of Actions
You can modify the log status of an action to determine whether or not you
want it to appear in the action logs.

modeling tasks and processes as the Framework Manager application. For
example, you can

import a data source

enhance query subjects with SQL, expressions and filters

create model query subjects to extend value of data source query subjects

create a basic package

publish a package to report authors
