Hi,
We are looking for the cognos reports to be migrated to qliksense. Any advice/suggestions on how to implement ?
You can't migrate anything from Cognos to Qlik, and I'd strongly advise you don't attempt to create a direct copy of the existing reports/schemas in Qlik. Re-designing as appropriate for the Qlik platform is the best approach.
G'day @KrishnaveniUdhayasuriyan,
As a consultant, I have been involved in a couple of Cognos migration projects. We migrated a suite of Cognos reports into a three tier Qlik environment:
I find that the client's main focus is to "turn off Cognos" - that is their measure of success. However, as Or says, if you redesign and build a robust Qlik environment, then you will be able to achieve much more with Qlik than you ever could with Cognos.
Cheers, Barnaby.
Hello, there is no tool that transforms reports from IBM cognos to qliksense. You would have to create it from scratch, I will show you the steps.
1.- Create the connections to the database in the same qlik (the same IBM cognos parameters)
2.- After creating the connection, we extract the data so that you can then save it in QVD files that are from qlik, finally you make your incrementals.
3.- Create the same IBM cognos data models in Qliksense scripting
4.- Now as the last part, they create the IBM cognos graphics in qliksense with set analysis.
Here I leave you some links that can help you learn qlik.
