Installing the reporting models and integration component on the HCL Cognos system

You must install the reporting models and integration components on the HCL® Cognos® system. If your installation of Cognos is a distributed installation, you must install the reports package on the server where Cognos is installed.

Before you begin

Important: If you are installing eMessage reports pack on HCL DB, make sure that you set the following value before you begin applying the eMessage Reports:

db2set DB2_COMPATIBILITY_VECTOR=ORA

Procedure

Complete the following steps to install the reports pack:
  1. On the server where Cognos Content Manager is installed, place the following IBM EMM installers in a single directory:
    • IBM EMM master installer
    • Marketing Platform
    • The reports pack installer or installers for the products for which you want to implement reporting
  2. Run the IBM EMM master installer, and select Marketing Platform and the Reports packages you want to install.
  3. Following the prompts, enter the connection information for the Marketing Platform system table database.
  4. When the Marketing Platform installer launches and the Platform Installation Components window appears, select the Reports for IBM Cognos 10 BI option and clear the other options
  5. When the Marketing Platform installer prompts for the path to the JDBC driver, enter the fully qualified path for the JDBC driver you copied to the Cognos system.
  6. When the Marketing Platform installer prompts for the location of the HCL Cognos installation, enter or browse to the top level of the HCL Cognos installation directory.

    The default value that is provided in this field is a static value that is not based on the actual file structure of your HCL Cognos system.

  7. When the report pack installer or installers displays installation options, select Product Reports Package, and clear the option for the reporting schemas.

    This option copies the reports archive to the Cognos computer. You must import this archive later.
