Configuring the Software Development Kit
To use the IBM® Cognos® Software
Development Kit, you must perform some configuration and set-up tasks.
To configure the Software Development Kit, follow this process:
- If you want to run the Framework Manager script player from outside the bin directory, configure the FM_INI_FILE_PATH environment variable as a system variable on a Microsoft Windows operating system. The environment variable must point to the Framework_Manager_location\configuration\fm.ini directory.
- To allow the browsing or import of system objects such as tables,
views, synonyms, stored procedures, or functions from a relational
database in Framework Manager, edit the entry for ImportDatabaseSystemObjects
in your fm.ini file.
By default, ImportDatabaseSystemObjects is set to FALSE. Users can see only the user tables in the import and expression editor dialog boxes. To allow browsing or import of system objects, set the preference to TRUE.
- Set up the samples for IBM Cognos
Analytics
and Framework Manager.
For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide for your IBM Cognos product.
- Set up the IBM Cognos software to use the Software Development
Kit code samples.
For more information, see the IBM Cognos Software Development Kit Developer Guide.
- Set up the IBM Cognos software to use the Mashup Service
samples.
