Verifying data source names and publishing

When you publish the model from Framework Manager to the Cognos® content store, the name that is specified as the data source for the reports in the model must match the name of the data source that you created in Cognos Connection. You must verify that the data source names match.

About this task

If you used the default data source names, the data source names match. If you did not use default data source names, you must change the data source names in the model.

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to change the data source names in the model:
  1. In Cognos Connection, determine the names of the data sources you created.
  2. In Framework Manager, select the Open a Project option.
  3. Browse to the <productName>Model subdirectory you copied into the Framework Manager directory structure and select the .cpf file.
    For example, CampaignModel.cpf.
  4. Expand the Data Sources entry and examine the names of the data sources. Verify that they match what you named them in Cognos Connection.
    1. If they match, you are finished with this procedure.
    2. If they do not match, select the data source instance and edit the name in the Properties section. Save your changes.
  5. Publish the package to the Cognos content store
