use a datamodule in Event Studio

IBM Cognos Event Studio works with source items that were defined in an IBM Cognos Framework Manager model and published as a package.

We need that IBM Cognos Event Studio works also with Data Modules.

    With IBM making the shift from Framework Manager, which creates packages, to data modules, the lack of being able to use them is serverly limiting how we can use Event Studio. We need to have the flexibility to leverage data modules as it will allow us to model up smaller amount of data specific to smaller departments or to specific tasks or activities like bursting a report to a handful of people. Event Studio has not had any major additions in over 10 years so this among other things needs to be reconsidered so that IBM Cognos can remain relavent and useful to the business. Otherwise, customer will continue to look else where for their BI solutions.

    Event Studio is widely used by our customers, in order to start delivering Data Modules we need this gap addressed so our customers do not loose functionality by us delivering data modules.

    Agreed, Data Modules should be a source for Event Studio.

    Couldn't agree more with everyone's comments. This app needs to update to use data modules.

    If there are no plans to replace event studio with a new tool that can use both packages and data modules, then event studio must be updated to use data modules.

    That is certainly required since triggers based on FM packages were there in Cognos 10, Data Module will become eventually the main source for the reports, dashboards, etc... So Event Studio should be able to accept it as a source

    This is a much needed functionality.

    Not being able to use Event Studio functionality in with DataModules will slow the adoption of this new technology and increase reliance on Framework Manager.
