Hi,

What version of Cognos are you using? Have you scrolled down in the list?

Hello,

Please use Configure JDBC Connection check and select Type as ODBC while configure Data Source Connections. While testing ODBC will fail but JDBC works fine.
This is the workaround for JDBC connection as of now I believe for 10.1.1. In 10.2.2, They have added JDBC into Type.
