Applies to: On premises

After you install or upgrade IBM OpenPages®, if you do not see the OpenPages reports and packages in the IBM® Cognos® Analytics, you can import them manually.

For more information about importing content, see the IBM Cognos Analytics Administration and Security Guide.

Procedure

  1. If you use solutions, get the latest version of the solutions report package.
    1. Back up the following file if it exists: <COGNOS_HOME>/deployment/OpenPages_Solutions_V6.zip or <COGNOS_HOME>/deployment/OpenPages_Solutions_Reports.zip.
    2. Locate the solutions package file for the database that you are using. The file is located in the following directory:
      • IBM Db2®: OP_<version>_Main/OP_<version>_Configuration/Platform/Upgrade/DB2/OpenPages_Solutions_Reports.zip
      • Oracle: OP_<version>_Main/OP_<version>_Configuration/Platform/Upgrade/Oracle/OpenPages_Solutions_Reports.zip
    3. Copy the OpenPages_Solutions_Reports.zip file to the following directory on the Cognos server: <COGNOS_HOME>/deployment. Overwrite the existing file.
