Step by Step with SDK in IBM Cognos
As per the previous article on same topic https://innovatechanalytics.blogspot.com/2019/12/ibm-cognos-sdk-developer.html,
we could understand
the pre-requisite to implement SDK in IBM Cognos. Therefore, we need first eclipse
and .jar files primarily. Make sure, your Computers should have java installed,
which is compatible to eclipse version. There are many eclipse version, which
has java compatibility issues.
Below are the steps to set up to create new project
in eclipse –
1. Launch Eclipse, Create a java project from File > New > Java
Project
2.
Name to Java Project
It looks like as below –
3.
Import .JAR files from Cognos Content manager location /SDK/java/Lib
a. Right Click on JRE System
Lib > Build Path > Configure Build Path
b. Add External Jars, Ref snip
below -
4.
Once you set up these entire necessary pre requisite, and then go to
design custom java code. You are going to create .Java files in Src folder. After
importing external jar files, you no need to give any other path in your java
code.
Custom java code
automatically refer these jar files, its classes and functions. If you need, you
can expand the jar files and read all its function along with descriptions
mentioned over there. Upcoming article includes first java program with Cognos.
