Hi,

In the first release, IBM will only support Framework Manager models then Data Modules later. 

It is really a surprise. IBM repeats in every Cognos meetings Framework Manager is the past and you need to use Data Modules each time you can.

Is there a timeframe regarding a post GA release with a support for data modules? As an IBM BP, I did not find anything relevant about wxbi roadmap.

Last question, will you release training and badges on this brand new product?

Best regards,

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for reaching out!

We already have the learning path and badge for watsonx BI, which you can find here

Regarding Cognos integration, we know that many of our Cognos clients are still using Framework Manager, so it's very important that we support both Framework Manager and Data Modules. FM is included in the first release, with DM support to follow shortly after.

Regards
