A data source is necessary to create models in Framework Manager, the IBM® Cognos® software modeling tool, run reports or analyses from IBM Cognos software, and archive content. A data source defines the physical connection to a database. The data source connection specifies the parameters needed to connect to the database, such as the location of the database and the timeout duration.
A data source connection can include credential information and signon, see Create or Modify a Data Source Signon. You can also add new connections to a data source and modify existing connections, see Add or Modify a Data Source Connection. You can make more than one data source connection available by combining them, along with other elements, in packages created and published using Framework Manager. For information specific to the data source that you are using, see the pertinent section in this chapter. For instructions on creating the package, see the IBM Cognos Framework Manager User Guide.
You can also create and edit packages in IBM Cognos software for some data sources. For more information, see. You can secure data sources using IBM Cognos security. IBM Cognos software also respects any security that is defined within the data source, see Securing Data Sources.
You move data sources from one environment to another environment by deploying the entire content store, see. Dynamic query mode Dynamic query mode provides communication to data sources using Java/XMLA connections. For supported relational databases, a type 4 JDBC connection is required. A type 4 JDBC driver converts JDBC calls directly into the vendor-specific database protocol.
It is written in pure Java™ and is platform-independent. For supported OLAP data sources, Java/XMLA connectivity optimizes access by providing customized and enhanced MDX for the specific source and version of your OLAP technology and it harnesses the smarts of the OLAP data source. You can use the dynamic query mode with the following OLAP data sources:. IBM Cognos TM1®. SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW).

Oracle Essbase. Microsoft Analysis Services You can use the dynamic query mode for OLAP over relational (dimensionally-modeled relational) models with the following relational data sources:.
IBM DB2®. IBM DB2 for z/OS®. Oracle. Microsoft SQL Server. Teradata.
Netezza® For more information about the dynamic query mode, including installing the drivers, see the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Dynamic Query Guide. To review a list of environments supported by the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, including the data source versions supported by the dynamic query mode, see the (www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27037784). IBM Cognos Business Intelligence supports DB2 data sources.
The IBM Cognos cubes that can be used as data sources in IBM Cognos Business Intelligence include IBM Cognos Finance, IBM Cognos Now! -Real-time Montioring Cube, IBM Cognos Planning Contributor, IBM Cognos Planning - Series 7, and IBM Cognos PowerCubes. Before connecting to an Oracle Essbase data source, some configuration is required if the data source uses scenario dimensions, hierarchies, or measures. IBM Cognos software provides support for accessing the cubing services technology of IBM InfoSphere® Warehouse for version 9.5.2 and greater. No IBM Cognos components need to be installed on the cubing services server. IBM Cognos software provides support for Informix® data sources.

IBM Cognos software supports connectivity to Microsoft Analysis Services from a Microsoft Windows operating system platform. IBM Cognos software supports the following types of Microsoft SQL Server data sources: ODBC, OLE DB, SQL 2005 Native Client, SQL 2008 Native Client, and SQL 2012 Native Client. IBM Cognos software supports ODBC data sources.
IBM Cognos software supports Oracle data sources. IBM Cognos software supports data source connections to external report repositories. You use the Report Repository connection to connect to a file system or an IBM FileNet® Content Manager repository. IBM Cognos software supports access to SAP BW data sources. IBM Cognos software supports the following Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise data sources: CT-Lib and CT-15. IBM Cognos software provides support for accessing TM1 servers and cubes.
When you create an XML data source, you must use XML as the type of connection and specify the location of the XML document in the connection string. You can create data source connections to databases. After you rebuild or update a PowerCube, you can use various methods to deploy the cube to the production environment. You can add new data source connections or edit string parameters for existing connections.
You can set the maximum number of available data source connections, the duration for retaining connections, and how data source connections are reused. You add signons to existing data source connections so that users do not have to enter database credentials when they run reports. You can specify isolation levels. Database administrators want to know details about applications that connect to their database systems. You can secure data sources using IBM Cognos security or data source-specific security.
