CognosApi class provides an client API framework for developing applications using IBM Cognos Analytics components as a service.
CognosApi class is the root level API. Once the CognosApi is
Multiple instances of the CognosApi class can be instantiated if the client application wishes to access more than one services (or the same service in multiple instances).
As a prerequisite, CognosApi requires a Promise library. Although most modern (ECMAScript 6 compatible) browsers do support Promise, It is recommended to load a Promise library (ie. Bluebird) to extend the compatibility of the application.
