BMT-MD-6001 or BMT-IMP-0016 error when running Metadata Wizard in Framework Manager

Troubleshooting


Problem

When creating a new project using the Metadata Wizard, modelers are presented with the following error message after selecting a Data Source: BMT-MD-6001 Connection to the data source 'great_outdoors_sales' failed because a valid connection string was not specified. ODBC data source connections will return the following error: BMT-IMP-0016 The provider type OD is not supported in this mode.

Cause

The Framework Manager project is configured to use Dynamic Query Mode but no JDBC connection details have been entered in the Data Source connection in Cognos Administration. For more details regarding configuring connectivity for Dynamic Query Mode, please refer to the "Data Sources and Connections" section of the Administration and Security Guide.


Dynamic Query Mode does not support ODBC connections.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve this issue, there are two possible steps:


    Switch to Classic Query Mode
    1. If creating a new model, uncheck the "Use Dynamic Query Mode" option in the New Project window.
    2. If updating an existing model, select the Project item (the highest level item in the Project viewer panel) and in the Properties pane set the Query Mode property to Compatible.
