  • 1.  11.1.7 Rest Api connection

    Posted 08/13/20 11:02 AM
    Hi,
    With the new REST API connection within R7 ive been trying to follow the example provided by  Jason Tavoularis on this link. REST API Example

    I have no issues in creating the data server connection. It tests successfully and if I copy the url into a browser window i can see the data.
    What i'm struggling with is how do i then make this data visible within a data module as presently I dont see anything.

    Do i need to load the meta data as I would with any other data server connection?

    Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as i've tried with a couple of different api connections and whilst they all test ok and I can browse direct in a browser tab, i'm struggling to get further within Cognos itself. I must be missing something.

    Any help appreciated
    Thanks

    Yes you need to load the meta data as with any other data server connection, before you can see the data in Data modules.
