Need Study Material For COG-122: IBM Cognos 8 BI Administrator

[abdulrahimmirza]

Hello,

I am new to COGNOS and I wish to get certified on it, since my company has recently purchased "IBM FileNet". I will be deploying COGNOS alongside "IBM FileNet" therefore I require some administrative and technical knowledge to carry out routine administrative, maintenance & troubleshooting tasks. Some designing won't do any harm too. If someone has any experience in COGNOS, please lay out a simple plan about how I should pursue COGNOS Certifications. I also need books to study from.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Abdul,

I would suggest you to use the cognos 10.1 handbook for startup, you can download it from
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247912.html?Open

As far as certifications are concerned, if you are aiming for COG-122, you must go through COGNOS Installation and configuration guide, administrative and security guide as well as architect and deployment guide
