To use the sample reports, do the following steps.
- Create a database to use as the content store for Cognos®. This database is separate from the FTM database.
- Use Cognos Administration to create a data source with the
following properties:
Name:
ftmbasedb_sourceTable 1. Data source properties (sample) Type IBM® Db2® database Oracle database Database FTMDB Not supported Connection string jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/FTMDBNot supported Open Session Commands Add the following command block to the open session command block. <commandBlock> <commands> <sqlCommand> <sql>SET SCHEMA FTM</sql> </sqlCommand> <sqlCommand> <sql>SET PATH = FTM</sql> </sqlCommand> </commands> </commandBlock>Not supported - Ensure that the installation of the database tables for FTMDB is complete.
