Returning back to Cognos

[barrysaab]

Hi Gurus,

After quite a while, nearly 7 years back , circumstances has pulled back to Cognos reporting, and it needs to be lot of refreshing and catching up to do. Unfortunately the organization I have joined is using Manhattan SCM tool, and the guys over here have not purely Cognos people, but just lending business a job.I think Manhattan also provide a FM package , but as these people are not well versed in CognosBI , they are resorting to SQL reporting most of the time with the help of DB people. I have two requests here, first what could be the fastest process to refresh myself. And people who are using Manhattan package , does it is well designed and equipped to handle the reporting requirements.

I would be immensely thankful for your inputs. Thanks a lot in advance.
