I use files stored in Box to use it in IBM Cognos analytics to create data visualizations. Currently, I am manually downloading the files from Box and uploading into Cognos. Is there a way I can automate this process by connecting IBM Cognos Analytics to Box?

    Hi Venkata,

    It should be possible.

    I have no idea of how IBM Cognos works, but if it support integrations with a REST API, then it should work fine.

    Let us know if we can help on the Box side of things.

    Best regards

    You dont need to have idea of how cognos works. I just need a way to connect box to Cognos. There is something called Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST that I can use cognos to connect to box. But i am unable to understand what needs to be keyed in the below url:

    jdbc:ibmcognos:autorest:[property=value[;...]];

    what would be the security key and security token of the box?
