Local install of Framework Manager / data source connection error

[nfldbunker]

Hi

I have a user who has a local install of framework manager to create a local model prior to publishing it out to the server and cognos web.

He starts the project and when he tries to create a datasource he gets the following error the object"portal/new_connection.xts" could not be created becuase a required capablility is missing.

Any help please advise

Hi Bunker,

Your user will only be able to create new data sources from within FM if his Cognos 8 user ID has sufficient privileges to create new data sources from within Cognos Connection.  Chances are that your user does not have this capability defined.

If you launch the Admin Console from Cognos Connection, navigate to the Security tab, click on Capabilities on the left, expand the Administration capability, and go into the properties of the Data Source Connections capability, you can add your user into the list on the Permissions tab, and grant Traverse and Execute privileges.  This should then allow the user to create data sources.

Regards,

MF.
