New Features in Version 10.2.1

External object store for report archiving

You can configure the Content Manager to store report output to a local drive or network share instead of in the content store database by configuring an external object store.

Ability to set content archiving for My Folders

You can now choose to set content archiving for your users' My Folders.

 

Granular deployment of My Folders
You can back up and deploy individual users' My Folder content without need for a full content store deployment.

 

Enhanced tenant administration functionality
The tenant management functionality in IBM Cognos Administration was consolidated into a single tool. Using this tool, system administrators can view all tenants registered in the Cognos BI environment, deploy the tenants, or delete the tenants.

 

Cognos Mobile sample audit reports

The new sample reports show IBM Cognos Mobile audit data.

 

Extensible visualizations

IBM Cognos active reports can use a new set of visualizations that introduce new chart types, greater interactivity, and ease of authoring. To use this feature, an administrator must import visualizations into a visualization library to make them available to Report Studio authors.

 

Improved processing of burst reports

New burst options improve internal processing of burst reports on the server. This functionality contributes to improved performance of the product.
