Step by Step with SDK in IBM Cognos
First, you need to the
background of SDK with IBM Cognos. SDK is Software Development Kit to
integrate IBM Cognos into your existing software or portals and to provide
several methods for developing custom solutions. Before proceeding to use SDK,
you need to have knowledge about any of the Java, VB .NET, and C# which is used
to design various codes in order to customizing, and embedding Cognos BI
processes. I would recommend to use Java language to implement SDK.
Following are the steps
to begin SDK environment –
1. Install Eclipse/NetBeans or any java IDE
platform.
-
This is to run the java
program.
2. Install IBM Cognos SDK suit on your server where
the Content manager is installed in your IBM Cognos environment
-
This is to generate the
required java libraries, which are compatible to your environment.
3. Import these libraries in your eclipse.

This is required to call
IBM Cognos objects / methods. This is present in you IBM Cognos installation
location in SDK folder mostly, in /sdk/java/lib .
