However even after opening a PMR with IBM I still ran into problems until today I saw the update in the Connections documentation specifically for SQL:<br />IMPORTANT: When using the default database instance the metrics.db.local.name property should be empty, that is, in the cognos-setup.properties file the property should be set like this:<br />metrics.db.local.name=<br />I'm rerunning the Cognos install and configure scripts as I type this.<br />Hopefully this is also helpful to anyone running into issues with the SQL connectivity.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953966775682021205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-11898362637455821582012-09-28T17:20:19.092+02:002012-09-28T17:20:19.092+02:00You are not the only one and happy to solve the pr...You are not the only one and happy to solve the problem.
