Resolving The Problem

Solution

Cause:

This error occurs if there is no data source connection set-up in Cognos Connection and if appropriate permissions are not set up.
The data source name specified in Cognos Connection does not match the Content Manager name of data source in Framework Manager properties.

Resolution:

Configure the data source by launching the cognos link -> Select Tools -> Directories in the right hand side. This will bring up the DataSources tab where new database sources can be added.

As per Section 2.2 Pre-Installation Set-up of NWMS_PCA_Analytics_Guide.pdf -> We need to ensure that a Data Source has been created using the Cognos Connection. This data source must be named as "wms".

If the data source has already been configured, ensure that the data source has the required permissions such as the Execute and Traverse permissions.
