Cognos Analytics - Datasource connections not listed in Data server by default

Troubleshooting


Problem

Datasource connections not listed in Data server by default

Symptom

We can see the datasource in the Admin console but not in the list of data servers.

Cause

This is default behavior.

Environment

Cognos 11

Diagnosing The Problem

None

Resolving The Problem

Go to the Administrative Console -> Configuration -> Set properties -> Connections tab.

On the bottom, you will see "Data source capabilities"
Inside that, check the box which says "Allow web-based modeling"

Once you check this, the datasource would be present as data server.
