Title: Can we Publish a package in Cognos Analytics instead of using Framework manager?
Post by: s.aravindkumar on 11 Jan 2018 07:08:27 AM
Hi,
In cognos analytics, I successfully created a data source but I didn't find the option to create a package and publishing it using cognos analytics instead of using framework manager.

Can someone suggest how to create and publish a package?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

If you want a package, use Framework Manager, just as you do in Cognos 10. FM is still a component of Cognos Analytics - you just need the version of FM installed that corresponds with the version of Cognos Analytics you are running.

In CA you also have an option of creating a Data Module via your browser. Think of this as being a much simpler metadata container than a package, although you can still create reports and dashboards from it. It doesn't have the advanced capabilities you would find in FM, though, so you can't do things like modelling multi-grain facts or creating role-playing dimensions etc.

Cheers!

MF.

Adding to MFGF, you can only publish a package through Cognos Analytics without framework manager if its a Cube from a TM1 datasource. You can click on the more function of the datasource and follow the steps.
