- 23. Easily add or update columns due to database changes in an existing data module Add individual columns directly from the source view to a data module Useful when you: • Add a column back which you initially removed • A new column was added to your database and you want to add that to your data module • Update your model after a name change in the database Reload the schema metadata directly from a data module • You can reload the schema metadata directly from a data module – as long as you have the capability to do so 23IBM Watson / Date / © 2020 IBM Corporation
- 24. Watson Knowledge Catalog Integration Phase 1 – One source of definition/reuse of Data Server Connections defined in WKC Define your database connections once in WKC and use it in Cognos along with multiple other products without having to define them in silos everywhere. This enables users to visualize their data using Cognos based on their connections defined in WKC. Example: the Database Admin can define 100+ connections in WKC and when new CA user joins the company, they can access the connections based on the governance set on their WKC credentials without having to ask the database admin. The user no longer needs to setup all the 100+ connections manually either. Cognos Analytics will only import connection details that correspond to data sources that Cognos Analytics supports today Demo video on next slide IBM Watson / Date / © 2020 IBM Corporation
