Administering personal data sets

Administer Personal data sets to allow users to create IBM® Cognos® reports that are based on their personal data.

As administrator, you create a data source connection to an existing DB2 database that is configured as a repository for data sets.

You control access to user functionality through the My Data Sets capability. To grant access to other administrators to manage this feature, assign the My Data Sets Administration capability to them. Users can see only their personal data sets and can delete any packages or data sets that they created. You can grant other users access to their personal data by sharing the corresponding packages.

You can manage data sets by specifying limits to the size of imported files and by monitoring the Data Sets status page.
