If you have missed it — there’s a new edition of Stephen Few’s Information Dashboard Design book. A must have and first edition is by far most worn-out Few’s book in my collection. |

Cognos TM1 10.2 released, Cognos BI 10.2.1 got FP1
A short product update notice:
Cognos TM1 10.2 is out TM1Tutorials are the first with the list of new features, congrats!
A whole bag of candy, notably:
Performance enhancements: given that TM1 in the cloud will become real with this release, there must’ve been another major update to locking model.
Learning@Coursera: Introduction To Data Science
|
Got my first Coursera certificate a while ago, hooray! Got it by mistake (more on it later), but it doesn’t matter, I won’t tell anyone, whoops ) Introduction to Data Science was taught by Bill Howe from University of Washington and lasted for 8 weeks. |
Cognos BI reporting on TM1
|
We’re about 70% done in the project that took 110% of my time lately and it’s all about using Cognos BI on top of TM1 (with a bit of DWH in Cognos DataManager, that’ll be a separate post). |
Configuring Single Sign On for Cognos Express
|
Saw people having issues with configuring SSO for CX a few times already, so it’s probably worth puting this quick tip up here. If you followed the mighty document called “IBM Cognos Proven Practices: Enabling Kerberos SSO in IBM Cognos Express on Windows Server 2008” and Single SignOn still doesn’t work, think about how much you need Kerberos authetification. |
Cognos BI Javascript: Add a Listener to Tab selection and all sort of prompts manipulation

Learning@Coursera: Data Analysis

There’s a nasty part of myself that believes that piling things higher would actually mean that more get accomplished and it’s really lame at learning from experience.
Cognos BI Javascript to select a tab in multi-page dashboard
|
Overwhelmed with work but still alive and have some proof: a quick javascript recipe that allows you to add hyperlinks to select tabs in multi-page dashboard reports. Something like multi-page tab drill-through ) Googled around and haven’t found anything copy-ready, so here it goes. |
2012 results
|
I’ve long avoided it, but let’s try a “results & plans” post for 2012. Hoped to publish it on XMas break, then on New Year, then on Old New Year and then just though that “done is better than good” and decided just to post it anyway. |
TM1 Active Forms Excel Bursting — Cannot Empty Clipboard Excel Error
|
When you’re TM1-to-the-bone and somebody says “and then we need to send these reports out” , you think ”Well, that’s easy, it’s just an Active Form and a bit of vbs to convert TM1 formulas to values, pack and send”. |
