Publishing new reports

When you use a remote package as a data source, you can publish reports to IBM® Cognos® Analytics.

Procedure

  1. Create a report based on a remote package.
  2. From the File menu, click Publish.
  3. On the Publish Report page, specify the name, description and run options for the report, and then click Next.

    A description or screen tip can provide valuable information for some types of reports. For example, you create a report based on a package that uses data source connections to more than one PowerCube. When you publish the report, specify the PowerCube connection name in the description or screen tip so report consumers know what connection to select when they open the report.

  4. On the Save As page, select the location for the report, and then click OK.

Results

IBM Cognos PowerPlay® publishes the report to IBM Cognos Analytics portal.
