cognosexportnode Properties

The IBM Cognos Export node exports data in a format that can be read by Cognos databases.

For this node, you must define a Cognos connection and an ODBC connection.

Cognos connection

The properties for the Cognos connection are as follows.

Table 1. cognosexportnode properties
`cognosexportnode` properties	Data type	Property description
`cognos_connection`	["string","flag","string","string","string"]	A list property containing the connection details for the Cognos server. The format is: `["Cognos_server_URL", login_mode, "namespace", "username", "password"]` where: `Cognos_server_URL` is the URL of the Cognos server containing the source. `login_mode` indicates whether anonymous login is used, and is either `true` or `false`; if set to `true`, the following fields should be set to `"".` `namespace` specifies the security authentication provider used to log on to the server. `username` and `password` are those used to log on to the Cognos server. Instead of `login_mode`, the following modes are also available: `anonymousMode`. For example: `['Cognos_server_url', 'anonymousMode', "namespace", "username", "password"]` `credentialMode`. For example: `['Cognos_server_url', 'credentialMode', "namespace", "username", "password"]`
		`storedCredentialMode`. For example: `['Cognos_server_url', 'storedCredentialMode', "stored_credential_name"]` Where `stored_credential_name` is the name of a Cognos credential in the repository.
`cognos_package_name`	string	The path and name of the Cognos package to which you are exporting data, for example: `/Public Folders/MyPackage`
`cognos_datasource`	string
`cognos_export_mode`	`Publish` `ExportFile`
`cognos_filename`	string

ODBC connection

The properties for the ODBC connection are identical to those listed for databaseexportnode in the next section, with the exception that the datasource property is not valid.
