Obtaining the JDBC driver for the Unica Platform system tables

You must obtain the JDBC driver for the Unica Platform system tables so that Cognos® can obtain the user information from the Unica Platform system tables. Cognos® requires the user information for Unica authentication.

About this task

To obtain the JDBC driver, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Obtain the JDBC drivers and any required associated files that you used to configure the JDBC data source for the Unica Platform system tables when you set up the Unica system.
  2. Configure Cognos® to use Unica authentication later.
  3. Copy the JDBC driver to the computer where the Cognos® Content Manager is installed, which is in the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib directory under your Cognos® installation.
    Important: If the JDBC driver exists in the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib directory, then you do not need to copy it to the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib directory.
