Deploy Framework Manager File from DEV to Test Box

[phani1979]

Hi

We have developed model in framework manager in dev box and the datasource is pointing to dev database box, now i want to export the model  to test environment and point the framework manager datasource connection to test database &  i want to open the framework manager model in test environment and point the datasource to test databse. how do i do that..?


I dont want to export the package from cognos connection. from environment to another, if i do this i can access only package from cognos connection, i can't open the .cpf source file in test environment.

I want to open the .cpf source file in test box( that's developed in dev box). and point my framework manager datasource to test database.

Help me guys

than :)ks

On all your Environments, use a common Cognos 8 datasource name.   For my example, we'll use one named "Data Warehouse"

Also, if it is possible, use the same database name (SQL Server) or schema name (Oracle) in all the database instances.

On the DEV box, "Data Warehouse" will point to the Development database instance
On the TEST box, "Data Warehouse" will point to the Test instance
On the xxxx box, "Data Warehouse" will point to the xxxx instance.


Get my drift?

Now, when you open a Model in an environment, that was created in another environment, you will not have to worry about changing the model's Datasource properties, as they are common across all your environments.

If your Database names or schemas are different in the different environments, you may have to alter the datasource attributes within the project, but the C8 Datasource will not have to be changed.
