How to open Remote cube in Power play8?

Remote Cubes: when i open Powerplay 8, it prompts me two options, i) create report locally ii) create report using remote cubes:
now when i select remote cubes, i do have a cube as a package in cognos connections, so when i select it nothing is opening.

Is your PowerPlay Client configured to point to the Cognos 8 server hosting the remote cube?  If so, do you get as far as logging in to the Cognos 8 server? Can you see the cube package?

If the answer to all of these is yes, then it may be a permissions issue - does your C8 user have access to the package for the cube?

to see the powerplay client configuration where shoul I go and see?

I can see the package in the cognos connection and can open the cube in powerplay studio also.

Hi,

Do you have an 'IBM Cognos Configuration' option when you go to Start -> Programs -> IBM Cognos 8?

Yes MFGF,

I have it and I have the access to see it.

OK - how is the config defined?  Does it point off to your C8 server?

Hi MFGF,

Thanks for your time.

Look at the URIs within the Environment area.  If in doubt, check the Admin and Security Guide.

I have checked them. URIs pointed properly.
