Tech Corner

From PMSquare: Deploying IBM Cognos with an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Application Load Balancer. An Application Load Balancer (ALB) may seem unnecessary when thinking about architecting Cognos on AWS. Two reasons we recommend leveraging an ALB when deploying Cognos are simplified administration and improving your security posture. Read the details here.

We released a new functionality which allows administrators to create a whitelist of email domains in Cognos Analytics 11.1.5 release. When the parameter "Whitelist email domains" is set, emails can only be sent to the list of domains. When you specify multiple domains and if you are getting error messages or find that the parameter doesn't work, this detailed technote may help to resolve the issue.

IBM just released this new Cognos Analytics Active Report Viewer. This accelerator tool is capable of viewing and interacting with Cognos Analytics active reports. These types of reports can be consumed offline, which makes them an ideal solution for remote users.
