    This document describes an approach to dynamically set the schema property for a Cognos data source in Framework Manager. This is useful when a schema MUST be supplied (such as with DB2 iSeries) and can vary between environments. The correct library to use is based on the value of the database server and a case statement to identify the schema name that goes with each.
