Envisn Blog Maximizing Uptime in Cognos Analytics

October, 2020 - By Paul Hausser, Envisn, Inc. One of the biggest challenges for any Cognos Analytics administrator is maintaining operational uptime for all content in the Content Store. This can be a challenge since outside of a major system failure, the major problem is that of individual objects failing when a user attempts to access them and then hoping that it gets reported and fixed. This is frustrating not only to the user who doesn’t get what’s needed, but since the user may not always report this, it remains non-functional until someone actually reports it and it gets corrected. What’s needed is a means of quickly and easily identifying those objects across the Cognos environment that are non-functional, and ideally be able identify the problem that needs to be fixed to make them operational. It turns out that Envisn’s NetVisn product has the capability to do both of these things and more.
