Unable to find the data source 'Departmental_Costs' in the content store.

 ???


We have some reports based on a data source 'Departmental_Costs'

These reports run for some users but other users get the error 'Unable to find the data source 'Departmental_Costs' in the content store.'

Clearly the datasource does exist, I have checked it is physically there and connecting plus some users can run the reports.

All permissions seem ok. Anyone got any idea what may be causing this?

I think it is a permission issue, please recheck access for the groups the other users belongs to.

Here are the steps to verify the right access

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add the data source in Cognos Connection if it does not exist.
Ensure that the user has the proper permissions:

Execute and Traverse on the data source itself
Traverse on the Cognos namespace
Steps:1. Open Cognos Connection.
2. Under Tools, click Directory.

3. Click the Data Sources tab.

4. If your data source is not listed, you will have to create it. Otherwise:

5. Click Set Properties beside the data source, then click the Permissions tab.

7. Ensure that the affected users have Execute and Traverse permissions, and click OK.

8. Click the Users, Groups, and Roles tab at the top of the Directory page.

9. Click the Set Properties icon for the Cognos namespace, and then click the Permissions tab.

10. Ensure that the affected users have Traverse permissions, and click OK.
