IBM Cognos Framework Manager is the metadata modeling development environment for IBM Cognos BI. It is available only as a Microsoft Windows client tool, which must first be installed and then configured.
This chapter does not cover the installation of Framework Manager as it is assumed that you would have already done this. This chapter covers only the settings to ensure that Framework Manager works successfully.
The topics covered in this chapter include:
Basic configuration of Framework Manager
Starting Framework Manager
Framework Manager user interface
By the end of this chapter, you will have configured and have a working Framework Manager, and know what the basic features of the user interface are.
For this chapter, it may be useful to have the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence sample project installed or a Framework Manager project available.
