  • 1.  IBM Cognos as a data source for Tableau

    Posted 08/17/20 10:09 AM
    Hi all, 

    I'm looking for the best way to use IBM Cognos as a data source for Tableau. I've read about the new API's in 11.1.7 and was wondering if these new features make it possible to use Cognos as a source.
    Other options I found are tools from third parties like the Analytics Connector from Senturus and a connector from Panoply.

    Thanks for your input!

    Hi Nathalie,

    Maybe an obvious question, but couldn't you just use CA instead of Tableau thereby removing this requirement?

    Our Tableau environment pulls directly from our Oracle data tables, bypassing Cognos.

    Hi Jeanie,

    We are currently trying Senturus ODBC connector so that we can use Cognos packages/list report as a source in tableau and its working good so far.

    Best,​

    same with us our Tableau environment completely bypassed/overpassed the cognos environment. Tableau has n number datasources to connect so people are directly connecting data through Tableau instead of cognos.
