Defining the data source connection for the data warehouse with sample data

To be able to run your reports against the data warehouse with sample data, you must define the data source connection for the data warehouse.
About this task
If you want to run the sample reports against the data warehouse with sample data, make sure that your Rational® Insight server is configured with the updated connections for the data warehouse with sample data.

To define the data source connection:

  1. Open the Cognos® administration page (Click IBM Cognos Administration, or if you are at the default home page of Rational Insight, click the Administration link in the banner).
  2. Click Configuration > Data Source Connections > RIDW.
  3. Click the Set properties action for the RIDW data source.
  4. Click Connection, select the Connection string field, and click Edit icon (the pencil icon at the right end of the field).
  5. In the DB2 Connection string field, ensure that SAMPLEDW is the database name, and jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/SAMPLEDW is the connect string.
  6. Click OK twice.
