IBM Cognos ICM Configuration

In IBM Cognos ICM - Configuration training course, you will learn the basic structure of the software and its navigation, how to create tables and calculations to produce results based on common business requirements, and how to create Data Stores from their calculation results. In addition, you will learn to use both Portal Access and Workflow Manager to make existing reports available in the Web client. At the end of this course, you will be able to transfer knowledge learned to solve your own business requirements within IBM Cognos ICM.

In IBM Cognos ICM - Advanced Configuration training course, you will review the current state of the model, learn how to effectively use the time table and the date string tables in calculations, and how to use multiple calendars. You will learn about elements of the Standard Build Framework including attributes, components and feeds, when to use the attributes approach to model design, and how to create port to feed data out of a component. The first part of the course ends with coverage of advanced calculation techniques and how to use consolidated outbound ports and the second part covers installation and configuration concepts, how to configure web client security and how to configure admin client security.

This IBM Cognos ICM - Configuration workshop is intended for those who will be involved in table creation and calculation building during the IBM Cognos ICM implementation.

IBM Cognos ICM - Advanced Configuration workshop is intended for those who are ready to learn advanced configuration techniques.
