Package Questions

[Tony]

All,
How to import a package from cognos server to local pc? I meant I want to modify a package which is already in server & want to import that package in my pc.
Any idea?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking for here.  Do you mean you have a C8 server instance installed on your PC and you want to replicate a package from the main server, or do you mean you have Framework Manager on your PC and are looking to somehow create a model from a published package?

Hi
I want to modify a published package in my Framework Manager. Please take note that this package is published by some one else not by me. I do not have this copy in my pc.

You cannot rework a package as it is a runtime component. You need the model and FM , make your changes and then republish..

That's not correct.

There's a tool existing which can reverse engineer a FM Model from a Content Store-published Package.

The major thing is to get this tool, which could be a problem cause it's not officially supported. But it's worth a try at the IBM Cognos Support...

Okay, I stand corrected. It may / may not be possible depending on the availability of a non-supported tool. In any case you would need to make sure that you manage your models as a source. Reverse engineering is then a last resort I would say ..
