When you view or create a report, you are viewing and
manipulating data stored in your organization’s databases.
The following diagram explains the steps involved in using
Cognos 8.

In Framework Manager, the modeler ensures that metadata is
presented in a manner that business users can understand
it. Modelers import the metadata from one or more
databases, and then add to the model to meet user
requirements.

In Metric Designer, the modeler identifies the data items
and calculations that form the targets and actual results
for each metric.

The modeler then publishes and updates packages to Cognos
Connection so that authors can use them to create reports,
agents, and scorecards.

Business users and report authors use the published
packages to understand their business data.

Users run, view, and manage their content in Cognos
Connection. Depending on their security permission they may
be able to simply run and view reports or manage schedules,
portal layout, and other users’ permissions.

Hi All, When user run the cognos report, that report output data must be download/available in EXCEL / CSV file.? (like... list report contain PL,PT,PN,RVEN, that excel/csv default download must be list columns PL,PT,PN,REVN) Thanks in Advance, LN.

I need your kind support. I have more than 6yrs of exp in s/w industry. I have worked on some DW technologies which are out dated. For almost 1 year I was on bench.During this bench period I learnt cognos on my own using online docs. Hence I am alligned to a project few months ago to work on cognos. Unfortunately after joining this project I did not get opportunity to work on cognos. I am working on different things apart from cognos. I should get job in another company. Otherwise I am gone. I am confident enough to get job on Cognos in another company. Please let me know is it possible to work on Cognos at lead position (as my current position is at lead level) without having real time experience. Your response is highly appreciated and I will be grateful to you. Thanks in advance Ganesh
