[SDK] Automate Cognos Configuration & Deployments

  • 1.  [SDK] Automate Cognos Configuration & Deployments

    Posted Tue March 08, 2022 12:03 PM
    Hey there Cognos Community,

    we open sourced Cognos Configuration Manager (CoCoMa) quite a while ago.

    Today we talked to a well known German company in the credit and finance sector about how to automate Cognos Configuration. And they didn't know about CoCoMa but found it immediately valuable and the solution to their problem. So, I thought there might be more people in the world with the same problem. 

    Cognos Configuration Manager is a command line utility that allows to configure and deploy almost anything to IBM Cognos Analytics via stable and reproducible way using plain XML files instead of clicking around IBM Cognos portal. It has been developed for Daimler AG, Stuttgart, Germany for more than 10 years. So, I can say, it is stable, has over proofed usability and is of great benefit.

    Requirements:
    * Knowledge of Java to compile the source-code. If you need help with that. Let us know.

    Target audience:
    * System administrators with more then 2 environments and frequent deployments
    * PMOs with the need of controlling security and documentation of settings
    * Product owners with the need of deploy and maintain Cognos Content

    Link to github repo 

    Hope you find CoCoMa useful. Let me know your thoughts.

    Ralf
