Information Distribution The only strategic add on for the new license model is Information Distribution which is a server add-on, which can be used for batch reporting. The typical use case for this is to distribute a snap shot of data to users that do not require any additional interactively. An example of this would be a report that is sent to all store managers with their weekly inventory shipment. This license has Cognos Connection rights, but execution of reports and responding to prompts in IBM Cognos Connection is prohibited. 9
