What are the replacement options for the Legacy Applications

[jahill938]

We have upgraded to Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 and know that Query Studio, Analysis Studio, and Event Studio are no longer available (in Chromium Edge anyways).
Some of our users use Query Studio all the time to just work out queries and test different scenarios with out needing a report.

If these are legacy applications no longer used/supported, what are the replacement options users can use? It seems the only option is to create a blank report and build queries from that.

Thanks

Hi,

You can still use these studios with Firefox, if that is an option for you? But regardless, from what you are describing, a report in Page Preview mode sounds like the best and easiest option for your users here (for Query Studio and Analysis Studio anyway). There isn't currently an alternative to Event Studio though.

Cheers!

Picking up on this thread as we have a similar problem.

We have some reports which need to be run every month only after the Pay Cycle completes successfully. If we update a table in the database with a certain value indicating the Pay Cycle has completed then the Event Studio can fire up the reports with that ? However, is Event Studio available in version 11.1.7?

Hi,

Yes, it's still available and still current - even in 11.2.2. I can't imagine IBM deprecating it until (if ever) there is a functional replacement.

Cheers!

Query Studio might still be available, but the browsers that you can use it on are dwindling fast. Given that lots of places are getting rid of Internet Explorer, do you know what browsers can open Event Studio, and whether there are any plans to make it available in Chrome (for example)?

Thanks

I am using Event Studio on Chrome Version 99.0.4844.84 (Cognos version 11.1.7 FP4). Previously on 11.0.  I wasn't able to use it.

Interesting! I can open Event Studio in Chrome (same build), but the page renders as a mess. I get the same with Edge too. I'll dig deeper into this and see if I can get it to work properly.

With the UI of ver 11 onwards (reputedly known as Cognos Analytics !!!! ) being the most horrible and disintegrated, can you give me the steps of launching Event Studio? In ver 10, it was easily available from the menu on the top right.

BTW, I have been using ver 11 since the last 4 years and still find it to be a lot worse than ver 10 to find anything. IBM really screwed it up. All they wanted was to change things, not change things for better. That's what happens when some managers don't have anything to do and want to do just something to save their jobs

If you haven't already, you must enable Legacy tools https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/enabling-legacy-studios-cognos-analytics-11

When they are enabled, on the Welcome page click "+ New", then on the pop up meni click "+ Other". A drawer will slide out and your Legacy tools will be there, including Event studio.
Or you can Edit an existing agent, if you have any.

I agree, I also miss the the 10.2.2. Change for the sake of change is never good.
