Title: Cognos WorkSpace vs Dashboard feature question
Post by: MrChasCognos on 03 Nov 2017 12:57:31 PM
Greetings Cognos Experts!

Am I correct in thinking in Cognos CA we lost the Cognos Workspace  10 feature that allowed you to use parts of a cognos Report Studio report as a Source for Dashboard, I loved this feature in Cognos 10, was wondering if it went away in Cognos CA.  I have looked for it, and glazed thru the Dashbaord and Report User guides but I am not seeing anything on it...    Anyone aware if this feature went away?

Thanks

Charlie

Hi Charlie

Workspace is still there as a companion application under New > Other menu. Other is only available if you have performed a custom installation (I think in 11.0 7 it comes by default as there doesn't seem to be a separate custom installation option as far as I remember).

Thanks

Hi Kiran,

Thanks, I see we do have it... cool. Big help. thank you

Related question, Is IBM planning on Keeping Cognos Workspace as I thought Cognos Dashboard was the replacement for it..   Sorry been head down deep into a Cognos 10.2.2 project and have not found the time to do this research, and I find myself within two weeks having to upgrading to 11....  Don't want to put a lot of effort into WORKSPACE solutions if they are not going to be around long... Any Insight on that ?

Thanks

Charlie

I believe Cognos Workspace is on the list of things to be deprecated in Cognos Analytics. Once the functionality is available elsewhere, I expect IBM will remove it.

Cheers!

Thank you, good information, wondering if they will be having a conversion tool for Cognos Workspace to Cognos Dashboard.    that be awesome if they did, take advantage of the additional functionality of Cognos Workspace right now, then cutover, at the appropriate point. 

Thanks
