Cognos Framework Manager QUESTION

[Claudio]

Hello I'm a new user,

I need some information about Cognos Framework manager. Could you please help me?

Do we need to publish the package every time we do a modification, not possible to automatically link it to the report?

When I log out/every day, I need to relink my package to my app tin order to get data?

Can we replace a package with another package in a report or dashboard?


Thank you.

Hi,

If you make changes to a Framework Manager model, those changes are held locally within the model xml on your machine. If/when you want those changes to be available for people logged in to Cognos, you then need to publish your package to make the changes available to them.

I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to relinking a package to your app tin. What is an app tin? If you have a package already published, the package uses a data source connection in Cognos to link to the underlying data. Any new rows added to the data will automatically appear in reports next time you run them. Is this what you mean?

Yes you can replace a package with a different package in a report. It's not very often you would need to do this though. Normally you would just republish an updated package from Framework Manager, meaning reports continue to use the same package but which now includes the changes you made in FM.

Cheers!
