    Is it possible for Cognos Analytics v11.1.7 or v11.2 to use Azure Data Lake Gen2 files (parquet and/or csv) to build dashboards and reports?  I do not see Azure Data Lake as a type when I try to create a new Data Server connection.

    Hi Missy

    I guess you can look at REST API data sources if azure data lake zen 2 provides an api end point to access the data. See the below blog from @Jason Tavoularis

    Dynamic Query supports several engines, which would provide means to directly query various formats stored in S3, GCS or Azure storage etc.

    Examples include: Azure SQL, Presto (now called Trino), Starburst etc
