End of RAVE ?

[Vivieng]

Hi all,

what do you know about this :

"This beta offering has been discontinued [...] the IBM Rapidly Adaptive Visualization Engine library is no longer available for download" http://rave.mybluemix.net

Could we still use RAVE or should we not ?

I have created viz... but will RAVE still be avaible and compatible with next version (> 10.2.2) of Cognos ?

Thank you for reply

If you have an IBM logon, it looks like you can still get it from here. (I do not have mine with me at the moment to know for certain.)

If it is not here, I would contact your IBM rep. I have heard rumors recently that they are going to be replacing the current engine with something based off of D3, a javascript-based visualization engine. But I would hope a customer on the current version would still be able to get the editor.

We will probably find out more about the future of RAVE at the Insight conference later in October.

I got the answer :) I am reassured

there is some confusion between rave.mybluemix.net and www.analyticszone.com. 


The Rave bluemix site was an experiment started as part of the Watson Developer Cloud beta. For WDC beta customers, it provided a way to visualize data in their bluemix applications - this was never meant to be related to Cognos, although it did provide sample visJSON that a customer/partner could use in a visualization bundle in Cognos. This experimental site was discontinued recently as it was a bit of an anomaly on Bluemix (it wasn't a service), but that does not reflect on the use of Rave in Cognos in any way. We are still investing in Rave and it is the visualization technology of the future in IBM.
