Title: Microsoft OLE DB connection issue
Post by: nsaxena on 05 Jun 2017 08:11:56 AM
hello all,

Before migration(v.10.2) we were using one datasource linked to Microsoft OLE DB.

Now in ICA(v.11.0.6) since we dont have OLE DB AS datasource, i tried setting up connection with Microsoft Native Client but its unsuccessful.

Can anyone suggest me how should i connect to OLE DB in ICA v.11.0.6

Thanks!

Do you have the SQL Server native client libraries installed on the server running Cognos Analytics? What error is reported from your connection?
