IBM Cognos Framework Manager Advanced
This two day course is designed for advanced Framework Manager Modelers. Topics such as SQL generation, optimizing and tuning projects, as well as more advanced topics such as leveraging parameters and macro functions will provide your IT staff with the knowledge necessary to build both flexible and optimized metadata models.
One of the challenges facing information managers today is the need to inter-relate different sources and types of information. Understanding the structure and architecture of the data make the above-mentioned scenario possible; metadata is the means by which this happens. Whether it is an ERP system or an e-commerce system that needs to exchange data between proprietary applications, IBM Cognos Framework Manager is the correct application for organizing and reporting on inter-related disparate data sources.
