Hey Guys,
I have a cube (.mdc file) created using Cognos Powerplay Client 10.
Is it possible for me to use this cube in Cognos 8.3 Analysis Studio ?
I tried, creating a new datasource using this .mdc file. In the Widows location, I browse to the location of the file. But while testing the connection I get and error "PCA-ERR-0101 An error occurred while trying to open the data source".
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ajay
I have a sneaky feeling the cube metadata changed for C10. Do you have a version of Transformer 8.3 you could try instead?

Hi MFGF,
Thanks for your reply.
I have Transformer 8.3 installed on my Cognos server. But when I try to open the .mdc file, It won't allow me to select it. It allows only .pyj & .mdl files.
Thanks,
Ajay
Well first of all PPlay Client is used for opening cubes, not creating them. Transformer is used to create cubes (.mdc). So, what I believe MF is suggesting is that you rebuild your cube using Transformer 8.3. That is provided you haven't upgraded your model (.mdl or .pyj) or you have a copy that hasn't been upgraded to 10. Otherwise recreate the model in Transformer 8.3, rebuild and then you can open the cube (.mdc) in PPlay client 8.3.
Transformer 8.3 -> PPlay client 8.3
Transformer 10.1 -> PPlay client 10.1
