IBM Cognos Framework Manager

IBM Cognos Framework Manager

Framework Manager, part of the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence suite, allows users to model data  to facilitate report development and delivery. Framework Manager acts as  the middleware between the database and report-writing tools such as  Workspace Advanced and Report Studio. While Framework Manager can appear  to be very technical and hard to understand, at its core, it's a very  simple application that just requires some basic knowledge of SQL and  the end reporting goals of the organization.

In this series, you'll learn how to navigate and master the components of a  model or package. (Knowing your way around is crucial to understanding  the application.) Then you'll design, build, deploy, and test your  models. Finally, you'll apply security to the model; otherwise, users  would have open access to all tables and fields published in it.

The goal of this course is to make Framework Manager easy and fast to  learn. While becoming an expert takes time, this series is a great  springboard into further developing or improving models that may exist  in your organization.
