Hi Sunny

When you wish to use Cognos (Impromptu) you need to first define your ODBC settings in order for COGNOS to find the database.
Than you create what Cognos calls a 'Catalogue' in which you define the tables you wish to use and their relationships (joins)
Finally you create a report using the tables in your catalogue

Cognos's Administration Guide outlines all the necessary steps.

There is a (I believe free) program called JDE Headstart, which does some of the setup for you and has a number of predefined catalogues. This may suffice in the early days when your learning, but I find that most companies start using their own catalogues.

Good luck,
