MotioPI Professional

Automate Mass Cognos Analytics Administration Updates

If you had to make the same change to 100s or 1,000s of Cognos reports, there is currently no way to mass update the same change to all of those reports. If it takes you 2 minutes to change a single report, that is half of one workday to update 100 reports! MotioPI Pro is the solution that will mass-update a set of reports in just minutes. You can bulk change things like text, images/logos, fonts, security access, schedules, parameters, and more.

MotioPI Pro will save you tons of time and effort on these manual Cognos administration tasks.

Automate Tedious Cognos Analytics Upgrade Tasks

Reduce the time and effort on your Cognos Analytics upgrade by automating the following repetitive but necessary tasks:

Run the validation check to quickly identify all of your Cognos reports that fail validation and isolate them from the scope of your upgrade.
Conduct a global search for patterns causing reports to fail (e.g embedded JavaScript) in your upgraded environment and then mass replace the corrections in just minutes.
Update properties on your packages in bulk to save hours of work converting reports from CQM to DQM.

Bulk Changes to Cognos Content / Configuration

Add, remove or update the parameters for hundreds of report views.
Bulk management for group and role memberships.
Apply standardized headers or footers to many existing reports.
Enable, disable or delete Cognos schedules for numerous users.

Automatically Update Cognos Objects

There are many Cognos workflow scenarios requiring unnecessary, extra steps to complete the job. Here is a sampling of Cognos tasks that are automated in several of the feature panels of MotioPI Pro:

When moving or deleting Cognos Content, automatically update drill throughs, shortcuts, report views, and other referencing objects that would otherwise get broken.
When bulk editing FM Model multilingual names, descriptions, and tooltips, MotioPI Pro can publish the changes automatically.
