Testing your configuration before you enable authentication
After the reports are installed and configured, you must test the configuration before you enable authentication. You can test the configuration by running a sample of reports.
Before you begin
Verify that Unica is running and that the Cognos® BI service is running.
About this task
To test your configuration before you enable authentication, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- Log in to Unica as a user with application access.
- Create data so that the reports have something to show.
- Open Cognos® Connection.
-
Browse to the report folders you imported and click the link to a basic report.
For example, for Unica Campaign, select .
If the report fails, verify that you configured the Cognos® data source for the Unica application database correctly. See Creating Cognos data sources for Unica application databases.
- Click a link in the report.
If the internal links from the reports do not work, the redirect URL is not configured correctly. See Enabling internal links in the reports.
- Log in to the Unica application
as a user with application access and browse to the Analysis page.
When you specify the URL for the Unica application, be sure to use a fully qualified host name with your company domain (and subdomain, if appropriate). For example:
http://serverX.ABCompany.com:7001/unica
- Click the link to the same report that you tested in Cognos®.
If you cannot view the report, it is likely that the IBM® Cognos® firewall is not configured correctly. See Configuring IBM Cognos Application Firewall for Unica.
Note: If you cannot view an Unica Deliver report, verify that the Unica Deliver stored procedures were run. - Click a link in the report.
If the internal links from the reports do not work, the redirect URL is not configured correctly. See Enabling internal links in the reports.
- Open an individual item, click the Analysis tab, and verify that the report is correct.
