Question

How do we connect Digital Hive to IBM Cognos Analytics?

Answer

As a Digital Hive administrator, connecting to IBM Cognos Analytics can be accomplished via the following steps:
  1. Open the Digital Hive Control Center
  2. Click on the Connectors and select New Connector 
  3. Select IBM Cognos Analytics
  4. Provide a name for the Connector
  5. Select an authentication method that matches how users authenticate into IBM Cognos Analytics
  6. To connect successfully, the base URL's for both the Cognos Gateway and Cognos Dispatcher must be provided
  7. If using the non-default paths, modify those settings accordingly


Once the connector has been added, source content will have to be 'enabled' to be accessible from within Digital Hive. Please consult this document for further steps: https://support.digitalhive.com/portal/en/kb/articles/enable-connector-content-in-digital-hive
