[zLinux] Sourcing the DB2 client library and sourcing the DB2 profile

To use Cognos Analytics to access ITNCM Reports, you source the DB2 client library and the DB2 profile.

Procedure

Source the DB2 client library

  1. Within the DB2 client install directory, add /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/lib32 to /etc/ld.so.conf and then issue the ldconfig command to regenerate dynamically linked libraries.

Source the DB2 profile

  1. Create a profile that sources the sqllib/db2profile from the DB2 user's home directory.
    For example, the content of your profile will be similar to the following: 
    if
[-f/home/db2user/sqllib/db2profile];then
./home/db2user/sqllib/db2profile
fi

Configure LDAP

  1. Use the Cognos Configuration tool to configure an LDAP server as a user repository.
