IBM Cognos releases new features, bug fixes and more several times of year as Cognos Upgrades. It is important for UCSD to upgrade their Cognos environments at least once a year, depending on stability and contents of each upgrade, in order to take advantage of the new capabilities and keep current with security features. ITS-BIA will communicate upgrade contents and schedules via email to the cognos-developer-l@ucsd.edu mail list and via Team to the Teams Cognos Community of Practice.
Cognos developer report testing at the beginning of the upgrade is critical to a timely and successful upgrade.
