This is the shiny new BI stack - not TM1.

Quite right David. Some forum readers who connect TM1 and BI for reporting/dashboard/analytics may be interested so thought I would post it anyway.

Just be aware that it is only compatible with TM1 10.2.x onwards.
Also if you are using SSL, there is a compatibility issue which will probably require a fix pack on both sides to make it work.

I am confused. We are using Cognos BI (10.2.2) with TM1. Is this the same thing? Did they just rename Cognos BI to Cognos Analytics and give it a new version number?

IBM needs to stop renaming their products all the time. I am having a hard time keeping track of what is what.

No, this is an entirely new thing. All manuals and training material will have rewritten as it is completely different.

Except for Framework Manager, which is basically still the same.

As you can see from the first post in this thread, although there is a fair amount of new stuff, much of the BI stack is still in play. IBM are clearly jumping into the Qlik/Tableau self-service area allowing users to do their own thing with data, with Watson Analytics to help them find what they want (how will they know it's the right content?). Quite a lot of the backend is as before. The big news for me is the introduction of Apache Parquet to hold content imported by users. This is a columnar engine so should be fast.
