Two Namespaces for OpenPages and Cognos Analytics

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently, OpenPages can only be deployed in a single namespace alongside Cognos. This creates complexity for Westpac, as it does not align with their operating model or integration approach with ServiceNow.
Westpac’s standard practice is that each application should have its own namespace, with direct integration between each namespace and ServiceNow. Additionally, the ServiceNow team manages incidents separately for each application, meaning that Cognos incidents and alerts should be separated from those of OpenPages.

However, due to the hard deadline of 1st August for go-live, the Juno team at Westpac obtained an exception to deploy both OpenPages and Cognos within a single namespace. Post go-live, they plan to work on an enhancement to segregate the two applications into separate namespaces, in order to meet Westpac’s operational requirements and standards.
