ReportCard
Fine-Tune Cognos Performance and Obtain Real-World Load and Stress Testing
You Can’t Always Fix Unknown Problems With Band-Aid Solutions
But…Do We Even Have A Problem?
The Next Step In Your Approach
Better To Be Safe Than Sorry
ReportCard won’t give you psychic abilities to predict if and when things will happen (we wish), but it will help you spot future problems before they occur. Some problems may come and go. Honestly, some may never occur again. But what happens when that once in awhile “we’ll worry about it later” issue becomes more persistent? Or even more permanent?
With ReportCard we change “What If” to “That’s Why” by giving you the ability to:
- Monitor and record Cognos
- Understand user activity/behavior and infrastructure activities
- Identify system hiccups and performance issues
- Prevent subsequent problems proactively
- Isolate disruptions and mitigate interruptions with real-time alerts
- Validate measures through instant replay
- The bridge
- Your data sources
- Host-made changes
- Or maybe it’s just not performing
Fixing The Problem Doesn’t Always Fix The Cause
Quit Guessing Why Your System’s Stressing
The answer is easy: Use your system, not some fictitious data.
With ReportCard you can treat your problems like guidelines instead of stop signs by:
- Record Cognos activity and system behavior
- Analyze and find the root cause of the problem
- Remediate the problem
- Replay to ensure improved system behavior
Generic Load Testing Tools Lead To A Dead End
With tools like LoadRunner or Jmeter you’ll have to spend tons of time setting up the scripts you need to use. Not to mention the extensive knowledge required to use those tools and execute Cognos reports with different parameter sets. And don’t forget, you can’t use real or actual activity data either. With ReportCard we’ve taken all that complexity away. You choose the reports and parameters and we’ll do the rest. ReportCard can even use Cognos audit data to come up with a real-world load test.
Real-World Solutions Need Real-World Scenarios
- Performing Cognos Upgrades
- Moving from On-Premise to Cloud
- Changing Hardware, OS, DBMS for your Cognos components and\or data sources
- Visualize Cognos activity alongside server metrics
- Apply different load criteria to confirm your infrastructure supports Cognos applications
- Schedule testing to verify system performance doesn’t degrade over time
- Track Cognos service status and receive notifications of service errors
- Customize notifications to obtain real-time alerts
- Scan report specifications to identify performance issues and validate improvement
