Installing reports

For the reporting feature, Marketing Operations integrates with IBM® Cognos®, a separate business intelligence application.

Reporting relies on the following components:

  • An IBM Cognos installation that meets the requirements that are specified in Recommended Software Environments and Minimum System Requirements.
  • A set of IBM Enterprise Marketing Management (EMM) components that integrate the HCL system with the IBM Cognos installation.
  • The example reports for the Marketing Operations application, which are built with IBM Cognos Report Studio.

Marketing Platform provides the HCL side of the reporting integration. To finish installing reporting, you run all of the following report package installers on the IBM Cognos system:

  • HCL
  • HCL Marketing Platform
  • HCL Marketing Operations

For information about how to install and set reporting for HCL Marketing Operations, and information about the individual components and how they interact with each other, see the IBM EMM Reports Installation and Configuration Guide.
