Need Cognos Setup

[abhishek dharga]

Hi Everyone ,

I am looking for the Cognos 10 Setup for learning purpose.
Is there any way that IBM or some other firm will provide the setup for local machine for learning purpose?

IBM offer a free 30-day trial, would this suffice?

Hi MF.
From IBM, it is available for 30 days only. Post that, i guess we would have to un-install and re-intall the setup only if IBM allows us so..
For practise, is it possible to have a complete setup? If anybody has and would like to share, it will be appreciated..

Thanks,

I think what you are asking for is not legal. Moderators....perhaps an update to the Forum Etiquette post is called for that would indicate requests for illegal copies of software are not permitted?

I think this might just be a language thing where people are merely asking if it is (legitimately) available, rather than where they can (illegitimately) download it. And the reference to share might have meant sharing whether some kind of legitimate student/'learning' setup was available, rather than sharing installers.

But, I am sure we have all seen requests for downloads of the illegal sort, and the suggestion to put that in the etiquette sticky post is a good one.

I see your point and thanks for showing the value of giving the benefit of the doubt :)

Posting to an old thread because this is similar to what I need.

Is there any link from where I can download TM1 (Performance Modeler , Developer , whatever else is needed for creating and publishing a cube and use it) for a trial period?

Thanks for your help

The PDFs are here in case somebody is interested

Hi,

There is a free 90-day trial of Planning Analytics in the cloud, if that's any use to you?

Cheers!

Whoa! Thanks MF, you are awesome!

Does this allow creating TM1 cubes? It does say it lets you create planning analytics but not sure if that includes creation of cubes. I want to create cubes using Performance Modeler . If it does then I presume it has sample data already? Ideally I would like to put the data in the DB myself but I can also work with the existing data if that's not possible.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Yes, you can create cubes. Planning Analytics is what TM1 has been re-branded as (just like Cognos Analytics is the new Cognos BI). The underlying technology of PA is TM1, and you might see marketing materials about PA that say "Powered by TM1". You might also have a look at the IBMDemos site - there are some good videos and hands-on labs for PA on there:

Have fun!
