Create the reporting database instance

  1. Set up an Oracle database instance.
    • For a SameDB environment—The reporting database uses the InForm database instance.
    • For a DiffDB environment—The reporting database instance on the Reporting database server with the same tablespace names used for the study database.

    Note: Automated deployments from the Central Designer application are not supported for environments that have the InForm database and the InForm reporting database installed on separate instances.

  2. Update the tnsnames.ora file to contain an alias establishing a connection to the database server.
    • For a SameDB environment—The tnsnames.ora file is located on the InForm Application Server.
    • For a DiffDB environment—The tnsnames.ora file is located on the Cognos Report Server.
