    Hello Surekha,

    Is CData integration is relevant also for Planning Analytics (local and cloud)?
    Is it relevant also for SAP BW as data source?

    Thank you,
    Gabi

    There isn't a direct integration right now with the products mentioned, but the CData team does have a connector for SAP ERP in their Connect Server product. In addition, they have connectors for these SAP data sources: SAP HANA, SAP Business One, SAP BusinessObjectsBI, SAP ByDesign, SAP Concur, SAP Fieldglass, SAP HANA XS Advanced, SAP Hybris C4C, SAP Netweaver Gateway, and SAP SuccessFactors. For more questions, the person can reach out to @Nigel.Campbell or @Zach Taylor at IBM  who are presenting the live webcast. There will be an opportunity for live Q&A session at the webcast . https://ibm.biz/CAWebcast2Feb23

    Hi @Gabi Cohen, we have a python based SAP BW to IBM PA (TM1) connector: https://succeedium.com/#sap-bw-connector-for-tm1
    You ca call the connector API directly from a TI process (prolog tab) to export SAP BW data\metadata, then the output file can be used as a datasource and you can apply custom processing logic on Metadata\Data tabs.
    The connector is very flexible, you can specify the language, properties, variables or even an entire query (to tune up the performance).
    It provides logging\debugging as well.

    Please reach out to me if you would like to know more about our solution.

    Will any of the connectors allow connection directly to sharepoint list data?

    Hi @Teddi Dalton yes there is a connector for Sharepoint - you can get a more comprehensive list from the ​CData Connect Cloud website too. 
    Let us know if we can help with any questions that arise. Thanks!

    Please refer to CData's  online docs/resources.

    i.e.

    https://www.cdata.com/drivers/sharepoint/

    Specific questions regarding how CData integrates with the sources they connect to should be directed to CData.

    Hey Teddi - Yes, users can access SharePoint list data. Here's an overview of the REST data model for SharePoint: https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RSH/cloud/default.htm#pg_restdatamodel.

    Hi @Niko Julius - CDATA provides connectivity to the data, and Cognos Analytics helps to uncover the insights in the data. I hope you can join us on Feb 2 for a demo of how this can work! ​

    At this moment we use the "Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST connection" for connectivity to API-based data sources. Will this CData Cloud Connect integration replace the "Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST connection" at some point?

    The option to use AutoRest is not being removed from Cognos Analytics.

    CData is a new data source, which you can use, should you determine the CData's solution would satisfy your business requirements etc.

    Hi

    Am I correct in understanding that the CData connector is not available with Cognos Analytics on Demand?
    I don't see the option on the list of data connectors types.

    Regards
    Gill

    Hi Heather,

    Right now, you can use the connector in an 11.2.4 Cognos environment where you have access to upload a driver. We plan to provide the driver on your behalf in the SaaS version of Cognos Analytics on Cloud on Demand at a later date. 

    Thanks!

    Hi Gill,

    You are correct that the CData connector is not currently available with Cognos Analytics on Demand. That said, CData & IBM Cognos are looking into to providing this as an option.

    Hi there, I'm wondering to know about the IBM's analytics technologies to gain insights into user behavior on gaming websites like mine. How can I best use these tools to understand my users and improve their experience?
