Questions & Answers

Licensing & Upgrading
Q: When will Cognos Analytics be available to customers?
A: We are targeting a release before the end of calendar year [2015].
Q: What licensing is required?
A: Licensing is the same as previous versions of Cognos. You just need
to upgrade to Cognos Analytics v11 to take advantage of this new
functionality. If you have moved to the new four license roles that were
released last summer, you will also get all this new functionality.
Q: Only about 50% of our users run reports. How does this affect
licensing for those users?
A: Licensing does not change.
Q: Is there any cost difference between earlier versions and this
version?
A: No, the license roles remain the same.
Questions & Answers

Q: Does Cognos Analytics require a migration or upgrade from 10.2.2?
A: It is an upgrade as opposed to a migration.
Q: Do we need any tools to upgrade from 10.2.x to Cognos Analytics?
A: The process for upgradingwill be very similar to what you have done in
upgrading from 10.2.0 to 10.2.1 or similar.
Q: How well does the new interface work with mobile devices?
A: The new portal, report viewing, and new dashboarding experience will be
available on the mobile device.
Q: How does the installation size of Cognos Analytics differ from other versions?
A: The size is similar to previous versions.
Q: Will there be an online test version of Cognos Analytics, similar to the test
version for Cognos 10.2.2?
A: Yes, we will be opening this up to users in the coming week. Submit interest
here, at analyticszone.com: bit.ly/SenCogAn11.
Questions & Answers

Q: Since Query Studio/Analysis Studio still exists, is there any purpose to first
upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2, instead of going straight to Cognos Analytics 11?
A: No, there is nothing stopping you from moving from 10.1 to Cognos Analytics.
Q: Do we need to be on 10.2 to upgrade to 11?
A: You can upgrade from any version, but upgrading from 10.x is easier (vs. 8.x)
Q: Is this Cognos Analytics or Watson Analytics? Because I saw the Watson icon
when the report is refreshed.
A: This is Cognos Analytics. We have internal open sourced the assemble portion
of Watson Analytics. This is an early build and we have actually replaced those
spinners. Good Eyes!
Q: Will you be covering IBM's Business Analytics Online during the webinar?
A: Unfortunately, we are not covering the details of Cognos BI Cloud offering
(there is a promotion to Bridge to Cloud as well), but we are offering a
complimentary consultation for cloud. Let me know if you want to set up a call;
you can email me at kknowles@senturus.com or call me at 303-330-7321.
Questions & Answers

Compatibility & Set Up
Q: Do we still need to have IIS with Cognos Analytics? We have gateways on separate
servers running IIS.
A: You are not required to have IIS, we will be shipping/installing WebSphere Liberty which
can handle the role of IIS.
Q: I’m really curious to know if Cognos Analytics 11 will support responsive web design?
A: Our new UI is responsive; however, we are not adjusting reports in a responsive
manner. This was a topic of much discussion.
Q: Is there a recommended level of memory and SAN required for Cognos Analytics 11 that
would be greater than existing Cognos 10.2.2 requirements?
A: The requirements for Cognos Analytics will be very similar to the requirements of
10.2.2.
Q: Is Internet Explorer compatible with Cognos Analytics?
A: Yes, this release is IE compatible. We will be supporting standards mode.
Q: Is this still only DB2?
A: We support (and have supported) a wide range of data sources. This is where some of
this stuff gets really interesting. The "personal data" is actually now stored in a very high
performance columnar Parquet file. As you may know, this type of technology comes from
the newer Hadoop world, and says a lot about where IBM is going.
Questions & Answers

Compatibility & Set up
Q: What's the oldest version of DB2 that can be used as a reporting source?
A: 10.1
Q: Is the information created in the new UI stored in the on-premise content
server or is it moved to the cloud?
A: Watson Analytics, the storage location for this is either on-premise or cloud,
dependingon where you install Cognos Analytics.

Cognos Analytics?
A: My folder is automatically updated to My content when you upgrade to this
release.

in a different location.

Display & Dashboard
Q: Are these features available for customers who embed Cognos dashboards in
their apps?

default home dashboard. What's the best way to set home for a group of users?

Questions & Answers

Framework Manager
Q: Is Data Module replacing Framework Manager?
A: No, FM is not being deprecated. It will be around for a long time.
Q: Is a FM package different from a Data Module?
A: Yes, FM packages and Data Modules are different entities. Similar in their
use, but different in terms of technology and creation. Data modules is a
simpler way to create models.
Q: Can I use FM to create reports and dashboards?
A: Dashboards can only use uploaded files and new data modules.
Q: Do the models created in the UI create a package accessible within
Framework Manager to modify later?
A: Data Modules are only available for use within the web-based modeling and
not for export and further refinement with FM.
Q: So, do we really no longer need FM?
A: I wouldn't go that far. In the right hands FM is a very powerful tool. This new
modeling is targeted at helping line of business users create models without
having to have a deep knowledge/skills.
Questions & Answers

Framework Manager
Q: Could we add a new data source/ table/file to an existing FM model?
A: Yes, you can continue to use FM as it is today.
Q: You showed GoSales as an example. Was it the GoSales exposed by Framework Manager
or is it the connection to the database itself?
A: In this case it was exposed via a FM package. Regardless, you still need to create a
model, whether it is with FM or the new modeling experience.
Q: FM provides many complex joining and transformation capabilities, if these are needed
based on our data, can we use the new capabilities?
A: The new data module tool is focused on a line of business user, these are users that
don't understand why/how to do complex joins and other features.
Q: If we use relational data source, can we still use FM?
A: Yes, you can still use FM.
Q: Will the new Data Modules be able to open existing packages/models that were built
using Framework Manager in a previous version? Or will they have to be rebuilt?
A: At this time, you cannot use FM packages as part of the new data modules. You can only
use uploaded files, data connections, and existing modules.
Questions & Answers

Reporting
Q: In Cognos Analytics 11, how can I tell if the report will be in Excel format? In Cognos
10.2.2, the sign of output version is next to launch report?
A: The report will take the default action when selected. There will not be an indication of
exactly which format this will take.
Q: Have Active Reports been redesigned to produce reports similar to the displayed
dashboard with the same functionality?
A: Active Reports are still available. We have tried to make it easier for you to create
Active Reports with a new user interface.
Q: If multiple users subscribe to the same report at different times, would Cognos run the
same report multiple times?
A: Yes, the reports will run when requested.
Q: We schedule long-running reports so that they will be presented to users very quickly
when they are accessed at any time. Is that type of offline scheduling of report execution
still available?
A: Yes, offline report scheduling is still available. Subscriptions are meant for individual
users, where as schedules are designed for a wider distribution
Q: Can I edit queries of the report as it did in Report Studio?
A: Yes, you are still able to view and edit the queries the same way you’ve been doing it in
Report Studio.
Questions & Answers

How Tos
Q: Can I subscribe to get a report as an email attachment?
A: Yes, you can choose system and/or email.
Q: How do I email to a group of users through a subscription?

the past?
A: You will find then in the team content area.

A: Once you click on columns you will see all the options, one of which is sort.
Q: When we upload the files where do they get saved?
A: Uploaded files are saved to disk into a parquet file.
Questions & Answers

How Tos
Q: How difficult is it to automate updating the flat file?
A: At this point you cannot automate the upload of a file.
Q: Could I add new columns to existing model, instead of administrator?
A: If you have permissions to the modeling tool, then the module could
augment it. Or you could use the existing module as a starting point to
create something new.
Q: Can I save the output to a different destination other than content
store?
A: No.
Q: How do self-serve users manage size content or control limits on
how much can be uploaded and saved?
