Data

In IBM® Cognos Controller you can export and import various types of data.
  • Period values and journals
  • Investment register data for acquisitions

The procedure is very similar for both types of data.

Media

When you export data, you can choose whether to save the export file to a library or send it via e-mail.

When you import data, you can retrieve the import file from a library.

Compress Data

You can compress data files in order to reduce the file size and to prevent anyone editing the content. Compressed files cannot be read outside Cognos Controller. You should not compress the file if you want to export data that will be imported into other systems.
