IBM Cognos export node

The IBM Cognos Export node enables you to export data from an IBM® SPSS® Modeler stream to Cognos Analytics, in UTF-8 format. In this way, Cognos can make use of transformed or scored data from IBM SPSS Modeler. For example, you could use Cognos Report Studio to create a report based on the exported data, including the predictions and confidence values. The report could then be saved on the Cognos server and distributed to Cognos users.

Note: You can export only relational data, not OLAP data.

To export data to Cognos, you need to specify the following:

Cognos connection - the connection to the Cognos Analytics server
ODBC connection - the connection to the Cognos data server that the Cognos server uses

Within the Cognos connection you specify a Cognos data source to use. This data source must use the same login as the ODBC data source.

You export the actual stream data to the data server, and the package metadata to the Cognos server.

As with any other export node, you can also use the Publish tab of the node dialog box to publish the stream for deployment using IBM SPSS Modeler Solution Publisher.

Note: The Cognos source node only supports Cognos CQM packages. DQM packages are not supported.
