[Solved] Manage > Data Server Connections - Error on Save

[Cape Cod Gunny]

We just upgraded to IBM Cognos Analytics 11.0.11. I am trying to add a new Data Server Connection but I keep getting the error "Data server error occurred: cmFailReadProp" every time I try and save.

Here are the steps I am taking:

• Manage > Data Server Connections
• Add data server
• Microsoft SQL Server

Settings

• Enter the JDBC URL:
• Autenthtentication method > Prompt for the User ID and password
• Test > Success
• Save

At this point I get an error message that says:
"Data server error occurred: cmFailReadProp"

What does this error mean?
What am I doing wrong?
How do I get this to work?

Solved:

This link held the key to making this work:

I added Directory Administrators under security roles, and gave System Administrator access.
I then tried creating a Data Server Connection and it worked.  8)
