Publish Cognos Content in Sharepoint 2003

Question

What are my options? I'm researching a 3rd party called QueryVision, but would like to explore other alternatives.

Answer 1

Cognos 8 can integrate with SharePoint 2003 directly. Check your Administration and Security guide - in recent versions there is a section dedicated to setting this integration up entitled "Deploying Cognos Portlets to Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and 2007."

Answer 2

One way you can integrate Cognos content directly into 3rd party portals and apps is to use parameterized URLs. Here's a link to the best practices document on the IBM site. Performing Tasks using Parameterized URLs in IBM Cognos 8 On page 15, it shows an example of integrating Cognos 8 into Sharepoint.
