IBM Cognos Cognos Workspace Advanced
Key Capabilities
Single Intuitive Interface for Ad-Hoc Query and Analysis
Flexibility for Presentation Options
Single Report Spec for integration with RS Pro
Benefits
Improve business agility through timely access and richer insights into information
Greater user satisfaction through improved self-service
Lower IT costs by offloading information requests while maintaining proper IT governance
What is Cognos Workspace Advanced? New Ad-Hoc Query and Analysis interface for business
users
Provides a consistent, simplified, and rich interface for self-service reporting and analysis
Cognos Workspace Advanced Addresses Key ChallengesWhat we heard from customersExisting Cognos 8 Customers
Improve ease-of-use and consistency – Too many inconsistent and overlapping interfaces to do not exactly meet the broad and varied needs of the business user. For example:
Query Studio is easy-to-use, but too simple and not powerful enough for some
Analysis Studio is too complex for the average business user
Report Studio Express doesn’t provide the ability to create/explore data beyond a crosstab
Report Studio Pro is far too complex for business users
Reduce “studio hopping” – Reliance on multiple studios to answer different questions and get desired information
Limited flexibility – Limited options for queries/objects and layout/formatting on a report
New Customers
Deliver self-service authoring to the business to expedite turnaround times and improve user satisfaction
Reduce number of one-off report requests to improve IT turnaround times
Preserve IT governance to reduce reliance on Excel or other rogue business applications
Business Drivers for Cognos Workspace AdvancedBusiness Analysts and Specialists are looking to…
Quickly and easily create new ad-hoc queries
Easy and intuitive drag-and-drop interface for ad-hoc queries
Perform additional analysis and data exploration
Analyze data (calculations, drill, filter, pivot, top/bottom count, etc.) from same interface
More flexibility for format, layout, and distribution
Leverage multiple queries and objects, more flexibility with charts and lists/crosstabs, improved formatting and layouts
Integration with Report Studio Professional
Leverage other resources, like report writers, to augment and enhance ad-hoc reports and analysis

What is Cognos Workspace? New WYSIWYG canvas for business managers to easily
assemble dashboards, view/interact/analyze the result set, and share the results to follow a train of thought and generate a unique perspective around information
Cognos Workspace Addresses Key ChallengesWhat we heard from customers
Existing Customers
Limited interactivity within the Report Viewer (e.g. no sorting, filtering, display changes, annotation, etc.)
Disconnected “Studio hopping” required for true interactivity (e.g. Report Viewer to Query Studio / Analysis Studio to Report Studio)
Large amount of time, effort, and unsupported techniques to hard-code in simple interactions (e.g. change display type, sorting, etc.)
New Customers
Limited ability to interact and manipulate the data and view and desire a more “google” like experience
Reliance on Excel or other tools to combine information together as existing tools are too difficult to use
Reliance on IT to create many one-off reports
Cognos Workspace to Replace Go! Dashboard
Existing Go! Dashboard customers may continue to use Go! Dashboard as long as it is supported, or they may choose to upgrade to Cognos Workspace
Cognos Workspace was built on the premise of Go! Dashboard. With the exception of Flash-animated charts, Cognos Workspace has all of the features that Go! Dashboard and much more

IBM Cognos Active Reports
© 2010 IBM Corporation
What are they?
IBM Cognos Active Reports are interactive, intuitive, stand-alone reports with the ability to be highly-formatted.
An Active Reports profile in Report Studio allows developers to create these sophisticated report applications.
Interactive Behavior Left side - Does this control set a variable value?
Right side - Does this control react to a variable being set? (usually by another control)
To see both sides of a connection select the controls from the drop down list
Variables set by this control
This control’s reaction to variables being set
Active Controls and VariablesReports operate through Active Controls and Active Report Variables
Can show just those controls from context (right-click) menu in the toolbox
Active variables link controls and allows them to interact with each other
• Highlight rows in a list
• Select a button on a button bar
• Select a card from a deck to be made visible
• Filter rows or columns from a crosstab
• Filter rows from a list
• Filter list items from a list box
• Disabled a list box
• Disable a button
Pre-Rendered Charts
All charts are pre-rendered (in PNG) at beginning of execution
No client-side charting engine in the C10 release but is being considered for a future release
Instead of filtering, we just flip to another pre-rendered chart (potentially large number of charts)
Special controls for this (e.g. Data Deck)
The author controls what the user can do and see so test the published report – limit size and complexity.

Data Deck Control
Basic Concept of how an .mht populates the UI List or Crosstab – html tables can
be populatedCharts – because there is no client-side
graphics engine, charts are not data-driven but instead are pre-generated and included as part of the .mht file.

Dynamic Cubes to answer Business Problems
Some customer data sources are not well served by current BI technology – in particular, very large data warehouses (terabytes of detail data)
These customers have already built warehouse, usually with aggregate / summary tables to increase performance but they still struggle
Large pharmaceutical manufacturer – analyzing all prescriptions filled in the United States
Bank analyzing transaction patterns by customers, households, etc. for a ‘holistic view of all customers and all their relationships
Dynamic Cubes to answer Performance Problems
Current solutions all have limitations, they all sacrifice either detail or performance. And they usually can’t see current transactions
Currently available solution all have their limitations:
IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes are designed to address this specific area
PowerCubes 32 bits, Stand alone cubes
Requires massive aggregation for large transaction volume.
Need time to build and automation process to refresh.
DMR (OLAP over Relational) Can handle any size
But even with DQM, performance can be less than ideal with massive data volumes.
No In-Memory pre-Aggregation.
What exactly is a Dynamic Cubes ?
Dynamic Cubes are in-memory OLAP cubes that load data directly from relational data warehouses.
They introduce a performance layer in the Cognos query stack to allow low-latency, high-performance OLA-style analytics over large relational data warehouse.
Built into Dynamic Query Mode query service.
How do we build and deploy Dynamic Cubes ?
Cube designer Interface
Data Source explorer
Project explorer Editor
Aggregated Cubes
Dynamic Cubes : Aggregates with DQA + logs workflow or not
In Memory aggregates:
Similar to pre-running reports to load detail into caches before users begin
They are set by aggregate advisor, no modeling required and can be based on Workload Logs
When saved, aggregates are automatically loaded for the next time the cube is started
Database aggregates:
Database aggregates are summary tables or view created by the DBA
These can be simple summary tables, or special tables/views supported by database vendor
These tables can be modeled in cube designer so that dynamic cube queries can be directed to them instead of lower detail tables
• Aggregates cubes are modeled inside Base cube
