Publish tab
The Publish tab provides options for defining the Cognos package settings. The detailed settings are stored as DPM properties. For more information, see
DPM settings for publishing data.
Publish to Cognos Server
When selected, a Cognos Package will be created and published to the Cognos server (defined via DPM properties). The package can be used to directly render reports in Cognos Report Studio.
When this option is selected, a specific Cognos server must be selected (the default package name is used unless it has been manually updated).
Note Before using this feature, the appropriate Cognos Server related settings must be stored in DPM. For more information, see
DPM settings for publishing data.
After clicking Publish Data, all data (including test and active records) are exposed to Cognos.
Create action log
When selected, an action log is created and can be used to create a Cognos Framework Manager project, allowing for further modelling via the Cognos command line tool BmtScriptPlayer.exe. For example:
“C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\c10\bin\BmtScriptPlayer.exe" -c
"C:\AL\Satisfaction\Satisfaction.cpf" -a
"C:\AL\Satisfaction_ActionLog.xml"
In order to make the project usable, ensure that the Cognos Data Source (that is referenced in the action log) exists on the Cognos Server. An example action log entry is highlighted below:
<action seq="6" type="DBImport">
<inputparams>
...
<param seq="2" type="cclnode">
<value><![CDATA[<item Name="
ALLVERSION" Type="database"
Value="partial" dbType="OL" description=""
isSystem="false" screenTip="">
...
</param>
Notes
▪When both the Publish to Cognos Server and Create action log are selected, the package and action log are both created at the same time.
▪When neither option is selected, only the RDB2 database is updated.
