Power cubes using Report datasource

[Vishnu Priya]

Hi,

I am trying to create a power cube using Report data source type. I tried using a report which uses a Power Cube package as datasource and another report which uses a Framework model package as datasource.
When I used the report that uses the Powercube package datasource the error prompted "The item cannot be selected because the datasource is not supported in Transformer", but the other report got selected as a datasource for the Power Cube model.

Can I know what kind are these two reports and why am I not able to use the former. What data source type should be the report to support in Transformer? Any links or heads up on this would be helpful. Thanks in advance

You can't use an OLAP cube or DMR model as a data source for Transformer. You can use a relational source such as a Framework Manager package, or a report that runs against a FM package.

I have got some idea on the answer. Thank you @czg. Got one more doubt. So, I can use only reports built against a FM package and not  from other kind of package sources like package from a Power cube?

See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_11.1.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug.cogtr.doc/c_tr_datasources.html#DataSources for supported data source types. You can use TM1 or InfoSphere cubes, but not PowerCubes.
