you don't "move" the local version of the model to the server, you publish the package to the server's Content Store. that's what Framework Manager is for.

once you do that, you be able to use it with all studio's from cognos connection/SDK/

to configure that framework manager to "point" at your server, after installing it, open the IBM Cognos Configuration and in the Environment section, change the url to your server. then, framework manager will publish to that server.

if you require additional help, i strongly recommend reading, or at least glancing over the IBM documentation. It well written, and especially if this is your first time, i would recommend it.

Hi Bunker,

The modeller will need to create a package in Framework Manager (right-click the Packages folder in the tree on the left and use the 'Create Package' option).  The Create package wizard will guide the modeller through the process of defining the package (which parts of the FM project to include, which function sets etc).  At the end of the process, the modeller will be asked if they want to publish the package to the Cognos 8 server - they need to answer 'Yes' to this question and work through the Publish Package wizard.

To republish the package later (if changes are mode, for example) the modeller should right-click the package in the tree pane on the left, and use the 'Publish package' option.

Regards,

MF.
