Hi All,
I have created a datasource in Cognos Connection successfully but when I login to Framework Manager which is installed on my local machine and access tables through the datasource it is throwing an error which says
(QE-DEF-0285 The logon failed.
QE-DEF-0323 The DSN(ODBC)/ServiceName is invalid. Either the DSN is missing or the host is inaccessible.
RQP-DEF-0068 Unable to connect to at least one database during a multi-database attach to 1 database(s) in:
DS-HPSM
UDA-SQL-0031 Unable to access the "DS-HPSM" database.
UDA-SQL-0532 Data Source is not accessible: "hpsmprod".
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist )
But the same works fine when tested in Cognos Connection.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Naven
Do you have a database client installed on your local machine? When testing through Cognos Connection it would use the database client that is on the Cognos server for connectivity to the database.
With FM on your local machine you would get that message if there is no client installed.

As Lynn says, the issue is that your local machine is not configured to talk to your database. From the details in your posted error message, it looks like you are using an ODBC connection called DS-HPSM. While this is obviously defined and working on your Cognos 8 server, I'd bet my favourite pair of slippers that it's not defined in the ODBC Administration console on your local machine, and this is where the problem lies.

Thanks for your replies.
Host name in TNS entry was not proper, my bad.
It is working now.
