Experiencing Cluttered Cognos?

Cognos environments quickly become disorganized with unused reports, broken links, and inconsistent security. Cleaning it up manually is nearly impossible. Without the right tools, the clutter grows, performance suffers, and teams waste valuable time chasing down issues instead of delivering insights.

The Solution: Motio PI Pro

Motio PI Pro was built for Cognos teams who need visibility, efficiency, and control over their BI environment. PI Pro provides powerful search, cleanup, and administration capabilities that simplify managing complex Cognos deployments. Built specifically for Cognos Analytics, it helps you quickly locate content, remove clutter, manage permissions, and streamline migrations—all within a familiar interface.

Bulk Changes To Cognos Content/Configuration

Making changes to your BI assets in bulk can be painful, error-prone, and time-consuming. MotioPI Pro offers a variety of ways to manage bulk updates to Cognos—including settings, policies, schedules, models, and more—giving you back time and peace of mind against potential mistakes.

The possible uses are vast, but here are some examples:

  • Bulk change text, images, logos, fonts, security access, schedules, parameters, and more
  • Add, remove or update the parameters for hundreds of report views
  • Distribute parameters to multiple Cognos 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 multiple users

Timesavers For Cognos Administrators

With so much to do, time is often a Cognos Admin’s most valuable commodity. Many of MotioPI Pro’s features are designed to save time for Cognos Admins. For example:

  • Mass update the default action for a set of Cognos Reports.
  • Find and Replace for bulk updating Cognos content (e.g. updating reports that depend on a model that’s changed).
  • Batch update permissions on Cognos objects.
  • Allocate delivery options for groups of Cognos schedules.
  • Assign ownership of Cognos content to any user.
  • Automatically update footers in multiple Cognos reports (such as “Confidential & Proprietary”).
  • Distribute updated parameters to multiple Cognos report views.

Simplify Your Workflows In Cognos

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.

Automate Tedious Cognos Analytics Upgrade Tasks

MotioPI Pro helps take the pain out of upgrades. Reduce the time and effort on your Cognos Analytics upgrade by automating repetitive but essential tasks, such as:

  • 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 search for patterns causing reports to fail (such as deprecated 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.
