Set up database connectivity for a PostgreSQL logging database

You must set up the JDBC driver on all Application Tier Components computers with a connection to the logging database.

For a list of drivers that were tested with your version of Cognos® Analytics, see DQM testing of vendor-supported client driver versions for each Cognos Analytics 12.0.x release (www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6989513).

Procedure

  1. From the PostgreSQL website, download a driver file that is supported for your version of Cognos Analytics, and copy the file to the to the Cognos Analytics install_location\drivers directory.
  2. Copy the JDBC driver to the install_location\drivers directory on the Content Manager computers, unless you use same type of database for the log messages as you use for the content store.
