Preface

IBM Cognos Framework Manager is a modeling tool for creating and managing business related metadata available in all Cognos Business Intelligence applications. It allows modelers to model relational data dimensionally, apply hierarchies to allow drill behaviors, apply member functions, and query any of the supported data sources (relational database with SQL or OLAP with MDX).

The main users of Framework Manager are data warehouse developers and data modelers. Report authors use the metadata information, which is set up using Framework Manager when creating new reports.

It is not a standalone product, but a core backend tool used to build a foundation for Query Studio, Report Studio, and Analysis Studio.
