The Data Modeler permits Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8 BI to access data held in IBM Lotus Domino Databases. The Data Modeler employs a Notes based, Graphical Wizard to generate hidden Notes Views and associated XML data models, then inserts these elements into target Notes databases.
Optionally, Data Modeler can now be used with the Sun & Son DataBridge to shape and export Notes data to a variety of relational data stores.
The Data Modeler for Notes is contained in a Notes database which can be installed on a Domino server or on a local Notes client. This documentation assumes that the database is installed on the Domino server. Should you choose to install the Data Modeler on a separate administrative client make sure that the Notes SQL configuration and connection are relative to the resident Notes SQL connection that will be used on an ongoing basis.
