An administrator wants to ensure that 3 datasource can be referenced when creating data modules in the IBM Cognos Analytics Portal (New > Data module).
What must be done to accomplish this?
A . Add the datasource to the list of supported datasources in IBM Cognos Configuration.
B . Configure the datasource in IBM Cognos Transformer so that it can communicate with the portal.
C . In the web-based modeling tool itself, specify the ‘Create Data Modules’ access permission for the datasource.
D . On the Connection tab of the datasource properties, ensure that the ‘Allow web-based modeling’ check box is selected.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Problem (Abstract): Datasource connections not listed in Data server by default Symptom: We can see the datasource in the Admin console but not in the list of data servers.
Cause: This is default behavior.
Resolving the problem
Go to the Administrative Console -> Configuration -> Set properties -> Connections tab.
On the bottom, you will see "Data source capabilities"
Inside that, check the box which says "Allow web-based modeling"
Once you check this, the datasource would be present as data server.
