Semantic Intelligence for IBM Db2

Db2 holds mission-critical data for banks, insurers, and governments. Coginiti gives the analytics team a modern, code-first workspace to discover, transform, test, and define business meaning over Db2, and a semantic layer that serves those definitions across Db2 and every other platform in the estate.

Better Together

IBM Db2 runs the data. Coginiti runs the meaning.

IBM Db2 is trusted where failure is not an option. Whether it runs on Linux, on IBM Cloud, on Amazon RDS, or beside Netezza in the same estate, it carries the transactions and history that regulators, auditors, and executives all depend on.

The analytic logic on top of it is often just as old and just as critical, and it lives in a mix of views, scripts, and people's heads. Modernization programs stall when nobody can say with confidence how a number is calculated or prove that a new platform computes it the same way.

Coginiti provides that confidence. Develop and test SQL against Db2 in the Data Workbench, capture trusted logic in versioned CoginitiScript packages with tests, and publish governed definitions to a semantic layer that serves Db2, Netezza, and any cloud platform from one place, inside your security boundary.

Why Coginiti and IBM Db2 Work Together

01

Enterprise Authentication

Kerberos and certificates, not shared passwords.

Coginiti authenticates to Db2 with username and password, Kerberos, or SSL client certificates, so it fits the identity and security posture your Db2 estate already enforces.

02

Db2 and Netezza Together

One workspace for the IBM analytics estate.

Coginiti connects to IBM Db2, Amazon RDS for Db2, and IBM Netezza Performance Server. Coginiti's Aginity heritage on Netezza means the team behind the product has supported IBM analytics platforms for well over a decade.

03

Classified and Air-Gapped

Governance that deploys where Db2 deploys.

Coginiti runs on premises, in Gov Cloud, and in fully air-gapped IL2 through IL6 environments. Sensitive Db2 data is discovered, tested, and governed without ever leaving the network.

Everything Coginiti Does on IBM Db2

From the first exploratory query to the governed answer an executive reads, one platform covers the full lifecycle.

Data Discovery

Find it. Profile it. Trust it.

Browse Db2 schemas, tables, views, and aliases from the Coginiti Database Explorer, profile columns on demand, and search the Analytics Catalog for the queries and models your organization already relies on before rewriting a critical calculation.

Explore Data Workbench

Data Transformation

Modular, governed transformation in the language of SQL.

Author modular CoginitiScript transformations that compile to Db2 SQL. Break legacy scripts into reusable, parameterized blocks, version every change with review, and run pipelines from the workbench or the Execution API.

Data Quality Testing

Encode assumptions. Validate everything.

Declare schema, uniqueness, completeness, integrity, and volume tests as CoginitiScript test blocks that run on Db2. Prove that a migrated or restated figure reconciles to the original, and stop a pipeline when it does not.

Semantic Layer

Define once. Trust everywhere.

Define entities, dimensions, measures, and relationships over Db2 once. Serve them to Cognos, Tableau, Power BI, and other BI tools over JDBC and ODBC, and to AI agents through semantic SQL, so every consumer computes the same number.

Coginiti Forge

An AI co-developer for the people who build the foundation.

Forge is the co-development agent for Db2 practitioners. It helps translate legacy analytic logic into governed, testable CoginitiScript, define the semantic graph over your schemas, and record the business context behind each definition, all inside your boundary.

Coginiti Guide

Governed answers for stakeholders who need BI, not SQL.

Guide gives business stakeholders governed, plain-language answers from Db2 data, with tables and charts computed from published definitions rather than raw tables, and without granting direct access to production systems.
