2. Copy the associated “.delegateInfo” file in this same directory.

3. Create and Install a package for <MyTask>. See “Advanced User Topics > Packages” in the Info*Engine User's Guide.

6. Select reporting management bean from the MBeans tab, “com.ptc > Monitors > ReportingSystem”.

7. From the Operations tab, click “updateModel”.

8. Verify that the Data Source exists in Cognos. Login to Cognos using the <WBRHomeURL> and launch “Report Studio”.

9. Find <MyTask> Data Source under “Windchill > Report Tasks > com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.report.ReportTask” in the “Insertable Objects” window under the “Source” tab.
