Configuring the IBM® Cognos® Reports for multiple partitions

If you are using Campaign, eMessage, and/or Interact with more than one partition, you must configure IBM® Cognos® reports packages for each partition. A utility, partition_tool.sh, is provided to help with this process.

When you run the partition_tool.sh utility, it does the following:

Copies the xml files from the original reports zip archive.

Replaces the package references in the xml files to reference a new package under a new folder that you specify.

Zips up the new files into a new archive, adding the new partition name to the end of the file name.

After running the partition_tool.sh utility, you create a folder in Cognos® Connection using the name you specified, and import the new archive into that folder. Finally, you copy the original project file (which contains the model) so you can change the datasource to point to the new partition, and then publish the model to the new folder.

This section describes how to configure the IBM® Cognos® reports for multiple partitions.
