  • 1.  Data Module Version Control

    Posted Tue October 27, 2020 02:34 PM
    Hi All

    Does anyone have best practices for doing version Control for Data Modules? 

    It will be great to have FM Script type of solution available to document changes and revert to prior version easily.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    One option could be to use Github: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/cognos-toolkit-github-integration

    @Torben Noer thanks very much for publicising this excited and incredibly useful development!

    Are there plans to extend the integration? Integration of further source control providers?

    Great stuff, much appreciated.​

    Hi Nikolas

    Since we have the API's now for interacting with Cognos Analytics, I guess it's open for other tools to build source controls.... but I'm sure the team can help with that also (be aware that these tools are part of a paid engagement with the Lab Service team).

    What other source control providers were you looking at?
