 Upcoming Cognos Upgrade: March 1, 2026

Start Time: 3/1/26 12:00 am - End Time: 3/1/26 11:59 pm

Description

The IT Data Analytics Architecture team is preparing to upgrade the university’s Cognos Analytics environment from version 11.7 to 12.1. IBM is ending support for our current version in April 2026, and this upgrade is necessary to ensure we remain on a secure and supported platform. The upgrade is scheduled for February 28 – March 1, 2026.

Query Studio Deprecation

As part of this upgrade, IBM is deprecating Query Studio, and it will no longer be available after the upgrade. We believe all Query Studio users have been identified and contacted. If you have not been contacted or need assistance transitioning, please reach out to Victoria Arnold directly.

Aside from some user interface changes, other Cognos functionality will remain the same. Users will continue to be able to create, modify, run, and schedule reports as they do today.

For additional details on what’s new or changed in Cognos Analytics 12.1, please refer to IBM’s documentation: New and changed features in 12.1.x – IBM Documentation
