Title: audit package help
Post by: akb123 on 10 Oct 2014 08:15:53 AM
good morning!

I am trying to run the audit package in cognos to see what users are running our reports.  when I try to play any of the reports it prompts me with my user id and password - when I enter my information it says "an attempt to connect to the data source failed"  I am supposed to be an administrator so I am not sure why its not allowing me to run anything in there.  I am also the "owner" of the package.

under administration, I have gone to the configuration tab to test the connection and its saying the logon failed. 

any ideas on what I should do?

thank you!

More than likely the userid and password combination used to access that data source is incorrect. Ask your DBA for the correct combination to allow access to that database.
