Cognos Load testing

[Ammus1234]

Hello All,

I was looking for any software for load testing in cognos. My version is 10.2.1.
I saw this link about JMeter. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/performance/load_testing/page584.html
Anybody used this? Is there anything else should I look into?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Load Runner.
I think the paid version of Motio might have something too.

I briefly used JMeter.  I ran into issues getting pagination on a report to work inside the tool.  The issues seemed to stem from differences between 10.1 and 10.2 (documentation was wrong).

Since we were testing load, we switched to using pdf for report output so one report call would pull all data.  Worked well enough to set some baselines on performance that proved accurate enough. 

Only suggestion I'd make is make sure someone on the effort is knowledgable on http (sessions, response, request, headers, that kind of thing).  You'll end up having to tease out the last bits on your own.
