Setting up connectivity to NCR Teradata data sources

To connect to NCR Teradata data sources, the IBM® Cognos® dynamic query mode uses the Type 4 JDBC driver for NCR Teradata and its required configuration file.

Procedure

  1. Within the NCR Teradata installation directory of the database that is used for the connection, locate and copy the terajdbc4.jar and tdgssconfig.jar files.
  2. Paste the files that you copied in step 1 to the cognos_analytics_server_install_location\drivers directory.
  3. For changes to take effect, stop and restart the IBM Cognos service.

What to do next

After you copy the driver files for your data source, users can create dynamic cubes. For more information, see the Dynamic cube modeling chapter of the IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes User Guide.
