IBM Cognos Analytics ad hoc reporting with cube data

Course Description: Transition from Analysis Studio to Cognos 12 Reporting

With the introduction of Cognos Analytics 12, the well-known Analysis Studio was discontinued. Users who have relied on this tool for years now face the challenge of transitioning to Cognos Reporting or the dashboard functionalities of Cognos Analytics 12. Although it is still possible to use existing cubes, the interface and workflows differ fundamentally from previous methods.

This course provides analysts with a targeted introduction to using Cognos Reporting, a powerful tool that replaces the functionalities of Analysis Studio. The focus is on creating analyses quickly and efficiently based on dimensional data cubes or data models. The centerpiece of the course is working with crosstabs, which offer a similar view to that of Analysis Studio.

What to Expect in the Course:

• A direct comparison of the functionalities in Analysis Studio and the new interface of Cognos Reporting.

• Step-by-step instructions on how to perform typical tasks from Analysis Studio in Cognos Reporting.

• Tips and best practices for a successful transition to Cognos 12 Reporting.

• Insights into using dashboards for interactive data analysis.

This course is designed for analysts who want to work quickly and flexibly with dimensional data. It provides the necessary tools and knowledge to master the transition efficiently.

Perfect for users migrating from Analysis Studio to Cognos 12 and for analysts working on dimensional data models (TM1 / PAW / DMR / PowerCubes / Dynamic Cubes)
