View Data Sources Used by a Package

You can view the data sources that are used by a package.

You can view data sources for packages that are in the Public folder only, not in My Folders.

If you want to see if the package is using dynamic query mode for a data source, check the Properties page for the package.

Before you begin

You must have set policy permission on the package and traverse and read permission on the model.

If you have read access for the data source, the localized name of the data source is shown with its associated icon. If you do not have read access for the data source, Unavailable is displayed instead of the name.

If you have the Data Source Connection capability and the data source referenced in the package does not exist, Unavailable is displayed with the default icon and the data source name in square brackets. If you do not have the Data Source Connection capability, Unavailable is displayed instead of the name.

Procedure

Start IBM® Cognos® Connection.
Find the package in the Public folder and click More.
In the Actions column, click View the package data sources.
A list of the data sources for the package is displayed under View the data sources consumed by this package.
