Creating a copy of the Cognos model for eMessage

You must create a copy of the Cognos® model for eMessage if you want to use eMessage reports in multiple partitions. Create a copy of the IBM® Cognos data model for the new eMessage reports and ensure that the model references the correct data source name.

Procedure

  1. Verify that you created an IBM Cognos data source for this partition. If you have not yet created the data source for this partition, see Creating JDBC data sources.
  2. Use Framework Manager to open the eMessage project file, eMessageModel.cpf.
  3. Use Save As to copy the eMessageModel project and give it a new name that indicates the partition where it is used.
    For example, eMessageModelPartition2.
  4. In the Project Viewer, expand the Data Sources node and select eMessageTrackDS.

    If the Properties pane does not appear by default, select View > Properties.

  5. Click in the Name field and change the value of the default data source (eMessageTrackDS) to the new data source name for this eMessage partition.
  6. Click in the Content Manager Datasource field and change the value of the default data source (eMessageTrackDS) to the same value that you specified in the previous step.

    In this example, the value is eMessageTrackDS_partition2.

  7. Save your changes.
  8. Publish the package to the content store and when the publish wizard displays the Select Location Type window, browse to and specify the folder where you imported the reports archive in Cognos Connection in the previous task.

    In the example, the folder is Campaign Partition 2.
