Import the reports folder in Cognos® Connection

The IBM ® application reports are in the compressed (.zip) file that the report package installer copied to the Cognos® machine. Use the guidelines in this procedure to import the archive file for reports into Cognos® Connection.

Navigate to the IBM\ReportsPackCampaignMarketingOperations\Cognos<version-number> directory.

Copy the reports archive ZIP file ( IBM ® Reports for Marketing Operations and Campaign.zip) to the directory where your Cognos® deployment archives are saved. In a distributed IBM® Cognos® environment, this location is on the system running the Content Manager.

The default location is the deployment directory under your IBM® Cognos® installation, and it is specified in the Cognos® Configuration tool installed with the Cognos® Content Manager. For example: cognos\deployment.

Locate the IBM\ReportsPackCampaignMarketingOperations\Cognos<version-number>\CampaignMarketingOperationsModel subdirectory.

Copy the entire subdirectory to any place on the system running Cognos® Framework Manager that Framework Manager has access to.

Open Cognos® Connection.

From the Welcome page, click Administer Cognos Content.

If your Welcome page is turned off, turn it back on in the Cognos® Connection user preferences.

Click the Configuration tab.

Select Content Administration.

Click the New Import button on the toolbar

10.

Follow these guidelines as you step through the New Import Wizard:

Select the reports archive that you copied in the previous procedure.

In the Public folders content list, select all the options, including the package itself (the blue folder).

If you do not want users to access the package and its entries yet, select Disable after import. Do this step if you want to test the reports before you make them available to the IBM®application users.
