Message:

Hi everyone,

I'm a learner looking to build hands-on skills with IBM Cognos Analytics and Framework Manager. Since IBM no longer provides a direct trial download with Framework Manager included, I'm searching for a pre-configured VirtualBox or VMware image that has:

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 (or similar)

Framework Manager installed and working

Sample database (like GO Sales or any other)

Ideally running on Windows Server or Linux

⚠️ This would be strictly for personal and educational purposes only — not for commercial use.

If anyone has a VM or can guide me to a trusted download source (even a private link or old community share), I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Kapil

Hi,

IBM doesn't offer any free demo install options these days. They do have an on-demand cloud offering with a free 30-day trial, but this will be the latest version (12.0.4), not 11.1.7.

https://www.ibm.com/products/cognos-analytics

That's probably the best you can do.

Cheers!

What Cognos errors to alert on?

Over the weekend we had a significant outage due to an error we were not expecting/alerting on - CM-SYS-5001.
Is there a list anywhere of all the errors that admins should be alerted about?

I've asked IBM but am not hopeful tbh.

And I know it is a bit open ended but any help would be appreciated.

It looks like the attachment was stripped off the post - probably when the forum moved a few years ago. Let me ask Lynn if she still has it. It was posted over 10 years ago, and Lynn and I have moved continents since then, but it might still be in her document list if we're lucky.

Cheers!

This topic has been moved to Reporting.

I cannot use CLUSTER nor HEAT nor HEXBIN types to cluster 25.000 points on a map of Greece.  Is there any limitation? Is there a D3 ready to download extension visualisation that we can use to have a descent clustering in maps? Or even LEaflet.JS?   The only link that I can find is reported as suspicious by hybrid-analysis.com (crowdstrike FALCON malware analysis): https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/ext-vis-leaflet-s06mkr?file=%2Fsrc%2FLeaflet.js%3A144%2C78.    What is the point of having Cognos if we end up in D3 or leaflet use.....  the cognos was supposed to be used by non IT users ....   Anyway Please Help!

Thank you @Cognostechie for the reply. Sorry for the confusion. I just updated the question as "percentage".
  I meant to display static percentage value on the chart for the corresponding dimension values.

But how can the chart show a character value?

Even if  we create a calculated column, how the chart can display the same?

Thanks,

If this is an Aging chart then you should have different bars for different buckets. Ex: one bar for 1-30, another bar for 31-60 and so on so the last bar would accumulate data for anything that is > 90.

When you say display character values on the chart, do you mean the tooltip when you hover over the bar? Then you have to create calculated columns using a Case statement.

Hi,
  I have a bar chart and would like to display * when the measure value is <10 percentage and "GT 90" when value is >90 percentage. How can I display character values on the chart?

Thanks,
