Cognos TM1 integration with other IBM Cognos software
There are a number of different ways that you can integrate IBM® Cognos® TM1® with IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (BI) and other IBM Cognos applications. This topic summarizes some of the most typical integration approaches and includes links to the related documentation.
The main options for integrating Cognos TM1 with Cognos software include authentication security, data reporting, and data/object interaction. Configuring integration between Cognos TM1 and Cognos BI involves a combination of installation and configuration tasks on the computers hosting the server and web server components. In some cases, installation and configuration is required on individual end-user computers.
- Authentication Security
You can configure the Cognos TM1 server to authenticate users using Cognos BI security. With this configuration, any Cognos TM1 user interface or other custom application must use a valid user name and password from the Cognos BI server to access Cognos TM1 data.
- Importing Cognos BI data into Cognos TM1
The IBM Cognos TM1 Package Connector is currently supported for use with IBM Cognos Business Intelligence packages against SAP Business Warehouse and other relational and ODBC data sources. You can use the Cognos TM1 Package Connector to import data from these sources into Cognos TM1 using a Cognos TM1 TurboIntegrator process.
- Using Cognos TM1 as a datasource with Cognos software
You can configure IBM Cognos BI to access Cognos TM1 servers and cubes from Cognos BI applications such as Cognos Report Studio and Cognos Query Studio.
You can also access TM1 data inside of IBM Cognos Analysis for Microsoft Excel.
- Displaying and interacting with Cognos TM1 data objects
- You can access, view, and interact with the following Cognos TM1 data objects in IBM Cognos Workspace and IBM Cognos Insight:
- TM1 cube views and charts
