You will also learn many of SAP’s recommended best practices to help you achieve optimum results when using IBM Cognos as your data source for your Roambi reports. The following subjects are covered in this guide: An introduction to SAP Roambi An overview and introduction to using IBM Cognos as a data source (See the IBM documentation for comprehensive instructions on using this application.) Instructions for designing and publishing reports in Roambi Publisher A series of chapters containing comprehensive sets of instructions for designing Roambi-compatible IBM Cognos reports and refining those reports in Roambi Publisher. (Each Roambi View has its own chapter.) Instructions for System Administrators on how to configure several Roambi Publisher features for Publisher users SAP Roambi workflow SAP Roambi has three components, which all work together to publish Roambi analytics reports to mobile devices: Roambi ES: The server component interacts with your Business Intelligence (BI) tool, such as IBM Cognos, and provides security features for your Roambi reports. Roambi Publisher: Use this web-based application to design and publish Views to your mobile devices. Roambi Visualizer: Use this mobile device application to view your Roambi analytics reports or Views and to drill through and analyze your data. The following diagram shows how these three components work with IBM Cognos so that you can publish your data to your mobile devices: Chapter 1: Getting Started 1. Design your reports in IBM Cognos with Query Studio or Report Studio. 2. Using the IBM Cognos portal that your Administrator set up on the Roambi server, import your report to Roambi Publisher. 3. With your IBM Cognos report as your source data, design and publish your Roambi View in Roambi Publisher. 4. View the Roambi View on your mobile device using Roambi Visualizer. System requirements and specifications This section describes the requirements and specifications to use IBM Cognos with SAP Roambi ES. See the SAP Roambi ES Installation Guide for a comprehensive list of all system requirements for Roambi ES. Supported versions of IBM Cognos Roambi currently supports the following versions of IBM Cognos: Cognos 8.3, 8.4, 10.x, or 11.x Cognos reports built with Query Studio or Report Studio Single sign-on support You can configure Siteminder as a Single Sign-on (SSO) solution for IBM Cognos and Roambi ES. See the SAP Roambi ES Installation Guide and Administration Guide for instructions on integrating this SSO solution with Roambi. Setting up an IBM Cognos portal See the SAP Roambi Installation Guide for instructions on how to set up and configure an IBM Cognos portal for Roambi. - 8 - Chapter 2: SAP Roambi Publisher This chapter discusses the basic process of importing a report from IBM Cognos to SAP Roambi Publisher, and then refining and publishing that report. Subsequent chapters contain detailed information about building reports in IBM Cognos that are compatible with Roambi Views and instructions on refining Views in Roambi Publisher: 1. Planning your IBM Cognos report using the View compatibility matrix. 2. Logging in to Roambi Publisher. 3. Creating an IBM Cognos report (see the individual chapter for your View). 4. Importing an IBM Cognos report to Roambi Publisher. 5. Refining a View (see the individual chapter for your View). 6. Publishing a view View compatibility matrix The following table provides a snapshot of which IBM Cognos report formats work best with various Roambi Views. For more details on designing views and view mapping, see the individual section within this chapter for the view that you are interested in. -9- Roambi Recommended Description Example Comments View data source(s) A view that presents your data in organized, categorized content.

  • Ventana Research Value Index Analytics and Business Intelligence
    Analytics and Business Intelligence Value Index 2019 Vendor and Product Assessment VENDOR REPORT Prepared for: Research: TITL Ventana Research Analytics and Business Intelligence Value Index 2019 Bend, Oregon December 2018 Ventana Research performed this research and analysis independently. Our goals were to determine the Value Index for Analytics and Business Intelligence and to evaluate vendors and products in accordance with the Ventana Research analytics and business intelligence blueprint. We charged no fees for this research and invited to participate all vendors that are delivering relevant applications to enable analytics and business intelligence. This report includes products generally available as of August 2018. Our purpose in conducting this research was to evaluate the maturity of software vendors and products and their value for enterprise use in analytics and business intelligence. Nothing in this report of our research is intended to imply that one vendor or product is the right choice for any particular organization. Rather, it provides a baseline of knowledge that organizations can use to evaluate vendors and products to manage and improve analytics and business intelligence. Unlike IT analyst firm reports that use subjective factors to score vendors, our research is based on thorough research-based analysis of customer assurance and product categories that best represent how an organization should evaluate its technology supplier. The full Value Index report with detailed analysis is available for purchase. We can provide detailed insights on this Value Index and advice on its relevance to an organization through the Ventana On-Demand research and advisory service. Assessment services based on this research also are available.
