This documentation assumes that the Windchill Business Reporting (WBR) solution (i.e. Cognos) has been successfully installed and configured. The Windchill instance name is referred to as <WindchillInstanceName>. The Cognos root URL is referred to as <WBRHomeURL>. Typically, if the WBR solution is installed on <WBRHost>, then the <WBRHomeURL> would be http://<WBRHost>/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi. It is assumed that you can login to <WBRHomeURL> and you have sufficient Cognos privileges to view Windchill Data Source objects and create reports.

Assume you have access to the Windchill server tasks directory, <WindchillHome>/tasks, to create an Info*Engine task <MyTask> in sub-directory <MyTaskPackage>.

For WBR integration, you must also have access rights to update the reporting meta model.

This document does not contain details on how to construct Info*Engine tasks. See the Info*Engine User's Guide for this information.
