About this task
Procedure
- Go to the IBM\ReportsPackCampaignPlan\Cognos<version-number> directory.
-
Copy the reports archive compressed file (Reports for Plan and
Campaign.zip) to the directory where your Cognos® deployment archives are saved. In a distributed IBM®
Cognos® environment, this location is on the Content
Manager system.
The default location is the deployment directory under your IBM® Cognos® installation, and it is specified in the Cognos® Configuration tool that is installed with the Cognos® Content Manager. For example: cognos\deployment.
- Locate the HCL\ReportsPackCampaignPlan\Cognos<version-number>\CampaignPlanModel subdirectory.
- Copy the entire subdirectory to any place on the system that is running Cognos® Framework Manager that Framework Manager has access to.
- Open Cognos® Connection.
- From the Welcome page, click Administer
Cognos Content.
If your Welcome page is turned off, turn it back on in the Cognos® Connection user preferences.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- Select Content Administration.
- Click the New Import button on the toolbar .
- Follow these guidelines as you step through the New
Import Wizard:
- Select the reports archive that you copied in the previous procedure.
- In the Public folders content list, select all the options, including the package itself (the blue folder).
- If you do not want users to access the package and its entries yet, select Disable after import. Do this step if you want to test the reports before you make them available to the application users.
