Publishing your personal data

Publish your personal data set to create a package on Cognos® Connection. You can share the package with other users or take advantage of other Cognos Business Intelligence tools to work with the data.

Before you begin

You must first create a data set.

Procedure

  1. Unless you are still viewing the Import data page after creating a data set, follow these steps:
    1. In the upper-right corner, click My Area Options My area icon, My Data Sets.
    2. Under Actions, click Edit Data Set Edit Data Set icon for the data set that you want to modify.
  2. Click Publish.
  3. Specify the Cognos Connection location.
    • To allow other Business Intelligence users to view the package, click Public Folders and click a folder.
    • To specify that only you can view the package, click My Folders.
  4. Enter a name for the package and then click Publish.

    The My Data Sets window appears. The package name now appears in the Package column and the publishing time appears in the Modified column.

  5. In the upper-right corner, click Launch, IBM Cognos Connection.
  6. Navigate to the location where you published the package.

    The new package appears. You can now leverage other Cognos Business Intelligence tools to work with this data. For example, you can use Cognos Workspace Advanced to create a visualization of your data.

    You can also report on your package using IBM® Cognos Report Studio. For more information, see Packages.
