Configuring Cognos® reporting properties in Marketing Platform

There are several sets of properties for configuring reporting in IBM® EMM. Some properties specify parameter values for the reporting components in Marketing Platform, and some properties specify URLs and other parameters for the IBM® Cognos® system. The properties that specify parameter values are specified when the view or table creation scripts are generated. You must specify properties that specify URLs and other parameters for the IBM® Cognos® system.

1.	Complete the following tasks to configure properties that specify URLs and other parameters for the IBM® Cognos® system:

2.	Log in to IBM® EMM as the platform_admin user or another user with the ReportsSystem role.

3.	Select Settings > Configuration > Reports > Integration > Cognos version

4.	Set the value of the Enabled property to True.

5.	Set the value of the Domain property to the name of the company domain on which the IBM® Cognos® system is running.

For example, xyzCompany.com.

If your company uses subdomains, the value in this field should include the company domain and the subdomain.

6.	Set the value of the Portal URL property, to the URL of the Cognos® Connection portal. Use a fully qualified host name, including the domain and any subdomains (specified in the Domain property).

For example: http://MyCognosServer.xyzCompany.com/cognos10/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

You can find this URL in the Cognos® Configuration utility under Local Configuration > Environment.

7.	In the Dispatch URL field, specify the URL of the primary Cognos® Content Manager dispatcher. Use a fully qualified host name, including the domain and any subdomains (specified in the Domain property).

For example: http://MyCognosServer.xyzCompany.com:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch

You can find this URL in the Cognos® Configuration utility under Local Configuration > Environment.

8.	Leave Authentication mode set to anonymous for now.

9.	Save the settings.
