This topic provides a comprehensive report of IBM Cognos conversion. The conversion pipeline converts legacy datasets and reports to Power BI equivalent.

Total BI Objects: Displays the number of BI objects. It also gives a segregated view of how many objects are successfully converted and how many failed.
Status: Provides status of the BI Conversion stage.
Description: A brief description of the stage is displayed.
Time Taken for Execution: The time taken for conversion.

BI Objects

This section showcases the conversion reports for each dataset and report. The converted datasets and reports can be directly consumable in the modern BI platform. The left panel lists all the datasets along with the conversion status. The right panel shows information about datasets and reports. It includes information about the type, status, and remarks. Remarks displays an error message if the dataset or report fails to convert.
It helps you understand the error and guides you to fix it.

Package

This topic provides converted datasets and reports in pbip file format which can be executed directly on the target platform. Select to download the converted artifacts for offline use.

The below image shows the converted dataset which contains the data model.

Data Flow Diagram

Here, you can see the entity relationship diagram for the dataset. This Data Flow Diagram gives a clear representation of data flow along with the cardinality. The cardinal relationships are:

Cardinal relationship	Description	Notation
one-to-one	One instance of a table is associated with only one instance in another table
one-to-many	One instance of a table is associated with multiple instances in another table
many-to-one	Multiple instances of a table are associated with one instance in another table
many-to-many	Multiple instances of a table are associated with multiple instances in another table
