Cognos Analytics

Summary

Join us in this interactive technical session, where we'll steer you through the process of creating a super fast and appealing dashboard leveraging the IBM Analytics REST API. We'll demonstrate how to invoke the REST API with plain JavaScript and Angular, and we'll incorporate numerous IBM Analytics Reports for sub-three-second data visualization. Designed for multi-device compatibility, the dashboard emphasizes speed, design elegance, and user-friendly interactivity. All examples used will be openly sourced, allowing participants to recreate and tailor the dashboard to their requirements. Imagine using the REST API for data delivery anywhere. By the end of the session, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to create striking, highly responsive dashboards utilizing the IBM Analytics REST API.

You will:

• Learn how to create highly responsive dashboards
• Learn how to use the REST API for data delivery everywhere
• Connect with subject matter experts

Hello Conoids,

hope to see you at this interactive session. I will give you a lot of QR codes to scan and follow what we will be doing :-)

At the end you will have github repositories to use as a kickoff of for incredible fast and visually appealing dashboards.

Let's engage users with their data.

Looking forward to this.

Cheers 

Ralf

Great presentation and very fast dashboard! But I'm having trouble following along.

Starting with https://github.com/AMVARA-CONSULTING/cognos/blob/master/CognosRestApiXHR/CognosXHR_getReportData.js to try to understand the basic concepts...

Are there differences in the REST API depending upon whether it is on a Linux or Windows platform?  The documentation I see says the REST API is at https://cognosserver:9300/api/v1, but the example shows

endpoint = 'https://cognosdemo/crn0/bi/v1'

Can you help me tie the URLs in your example to the URLs provided in the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.0?topic=api-getting-started-rest)?  Am I looking at the wrong documentation?  Is this really using the Cognos Analytics REST API or are you using parameterized URLs against the dispatcher?

CognosXHR_getReportData.js includes a reference to the fetch_csv_content() function, which is not defined.  Is that the same as the fetch_content() function?

Some of the information provided at https://github.com/AMVARA-CONSULTING is difficult to follow.  Some code samples appear to begin mid-code and some thoughts end mid-sentence.

Hello @Douglas Pulse,

>> Are there differences in the REST API depending upon whether it is on a Linux or Windows platform? 
No.

>>Can you help me tie the URLs in your example to the URLs provided in the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.0?topic=api-getting-started-rest)?  Am I looking at the wrong documentation? 
Yes. The documentation you are looking at does not reference fetching report Data.

This: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.0?topic=developer-rest-interface-reference is describing the one I am using.

>>Is this really using the Cognos Analytics REST API or are you using parameterized URLs against the dispatcher?
It is using parameters on the URL ... yes :-)

>>CognosXHR_getReportData.js includes a reference to the fetch_csv_content() function, which is not defined.  Is that the same as the fetch_content() function?

My bad. I pushed the code before finishing the example. Fixed it today.

https://github.com/AMVARA-CONSULTING/cognos/commit/b30b04aa6b3efaec46b8ade1a97bc3ac3478b702

Hope this helps.

Let me know any issues. You are welcome to drop me an e-Mail.

Thank you.  So, to be clearer, this solution is not built on the technology the IBM has named the Cognos Analytics REST API.  It is built on Cognos Mashup Service (CMS), using the REST (vs. SOAP) web service.
