Obtain the JDBC driver for the Marketing Platform system tables

You must obtain the JDBC driver for the Marketing Platform system tables so that Cognos® can obtain the user information from the Marketing Platform system tables. Cognos requires the user information for HCL® EMM authentication.

Obtain the JDBC drivers and any required associated files that you used to configure the JDBC data source for the Marketing Platform system tables when you set up the HCL EMM system. You must also configure Cognos to use HCL EMM authentication later.

Important: If the JDBC driver exists in the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib directory, then you do not need to copy it to the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib directory.

Copy the JDBC driver to the computer where the Cognos Content Manager is installed, to the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib directory under your Cognos installation.
