Modelling Cube for Analysis Studio

[coolbaba]

Hi Gurus,

Please let me know whether only Cognos Transformer is being used for building the cube for the Cognos 8 version as well?  or is there any other way to form or develop a cube from any of the modeling tools provided in Cognos 8 like framework Manager. I have worked aplenty with Reportnet but new to Analysis studio and cubes. Please let me know.
also if there are steps for forming a cube and using that in c8, please let me know the steps one by one as well.. thanks in advance
Thanks,
Coolbaba

Only Transformer can be used to generate a PowerPlay Cube. C8 can also accept Cognos Planning cubes as well as M$ Analysis Cubes.
