Описание Курса:

IBM Cognos Framework Manager: Design Metadata Models (V10.1) is a five-day, instructor-led course that provides participants with introductory to advanced knowledge of metadata modeling concepts, and how to model metadata for predictable reporting and analysis results using Framework Manager. Participants will learn the full scope of the metadata modeling process, from initial project creation, to publishing of metadata to the Web, enabling end users to easily author reports and analyze data.

Аудитория:

This course is for developers who design metadata models for use in IBM Cognos.
