Before you begin
The reporting partition utility, partition_tool.sh, is a UNIX™ shell script. Before you run the utility, do the following.
Determine values for input parameters
The reporting partition tool has two input parameters: the name of the partition folder you want to create in Cognos®, and the location of the reports archive to copy.
*
Decide the name of the top-level partition folder you plan to create in Cognos®. This name is used in Cognos® for the package references. For example, "Partition2."
*
Note the path to the original reports archive. For example: IBM\Unica\ReportsPacksCampaign\cognos<version>\Unica Reports for Campaign.zip
Windows™ only: obtain a shell script simulator
If Cognos® is running on Windows™, you must run the script from a shell script simulator (for example, Cygwin).
If you do not have a shell script simulator installed on the machine that is running the Cognos® Content Manager, download and install one now.
Ensure that a zip utility is installed
The reporting partition tool creates a zip archive for the new partition reports. To enable this function, a zip utility must be installed on the Cognos® system.
If you do not have a zip utility installed on the machine that is running the Cognos® Content Manager, download and install one now.
