MetaManager
"Streamline and automate the administration and maintenance of your Cognos environment."

MetaManager allows administrators and developers to simplify many of the complexities associated with metadata, security and data management, both at the modeling and user level. The product modules are designed to help administrators manage and maintain metadata, perform impact analysis of these modifications on end user content, and automatically resolve any issues that may occur from the impact analysis. As well, administrators can generate detailed audit trail documentation with a click of a button, perform full or selectable content backups and restores, and revert changes back to previous state at any time.

MetaManager Features:

Full exposure to Public Folder AND personal folders content.
Enhanced modeling functionality to expand metadata management capabilities
Automated report validation when changes to the underlying packages are made
Application of Framework Manager model / package changes to impacted reports
Placement of metadata in end-user reports in the form of screen tips
Find and replace capabilities within selectable report objects
Standardization of report appearance
Security application and maintenance within selected content store objects
Detailed documentation of the contents of FM models and Content Store
Backup, restoration and deployment of selectable Content Store objects
Command line automation to enable scheduling of many of these capabilities
