    Hello Hachemi

    Which cloud license did you purchase?  Reports only available in the Premium license.

    Also, there is no Administration tab in the Cloud version, as far as I am aware.  What did you want to do in Admin?

    Cheers
    Gill

    Hi,

    I assume you are talking about Cognos on Demand? In this case, it depends on the license subscription you have choosen ( which you can change at all time). Only premium covers the reporting feature. in all cases you will not have the legacy "administration console" the admin options are limited to what is available under "manage" ( note that this is a SaaS service and IBM take care of most admin tasks)

    hope this clarifies

    Hi, Thank you for your reply, this is what I bought: IBM Cognos Analytics on Cloud Standard Authorized User per Month.
    I can't do nothing with this,
    I played  17,80 € for nothing,

    Hi 

    With the Standard license, you can create Dashboards which include all sorts of visualisations, connect to many data sources, upload flat files, create data models.

    Quite a bit.  What do you need to be able to do?

    Hi Hachemi

    Is you SQL Server DB on prem?  If so, you will probably need to set up a Secure Gateway, to be able to connect Cognos Cloud to SQL on prem.

    Go to Manage > Secure Gateways.  But first read this to check how to do that: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_11.1.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ag_manage.doc/c_ca_manage_secure_gateway_installing.html

    Once you have a secure gateway connection to the SQL Server, you can go to Manage > Data Server Connection and add a SQL connection.  Here is an example connection string that we have setup: jdbc:sqlserver://HELLO-PC:1433;Database=NPC2;

    Hope that helps

    Hi Heather,
    My SQL server is not on cloud, it is installed in my computer.

    OK. then you need to follow this process to create a bridge between the Cloud (Cognos on Demand) and your computer:

    Hi Heather,
    I noticed that the Secure Gateway is being deprecated. See links below:

    Make sure you have the Premium edition to expect Reports to be a feature.  We ran into that.  The regular plan only allows Dashboard development.
