Downloading the supplementary samples

The supplementary samples are available in the IBM Cognos Analytics community. You need to download the samples before you can configure them.

About this task

You download the supplementary samples from the supplementary samples website (www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/supplementary-ibm-cognos-analytics-11-samples). The samples are packaged as LegacySamples.zip. This file includes six deployments, including the deployments that are used with IBM Cognos PowerPlay.

Procedure

  1. Go to the supplementary samples website (www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/supplementary-ibm-cognos-analytics-11-samples).
  2. Download the LegacySamples.zip file, and extract its contents to any location that you can access.

    The LegacySamples.zip file contains the Samples folder that has a number of sub-folders.

    The content sub-folder includes the PowerPlay deployment IBM_Cognos_PowerPlay.zip.

    The datasources\cubes\PowerCubes\EN sub-folder includes the PowerCube great_outdoors_sales_en that is used as a data source for the PowerPlay reports.

  3. Copy the PowerPlay deployment archive to the Cognos Analytics Deployment files location that is specified in IBM Cognos Configuration. The default location is cognos_analytics_installation_location/deployment.
