Title: Cube build from command line in 8.3
Post by: gkalluri on 20 May 2008 01:08:26 PM
- Developed a simple Test Model.
- Built the cube manually from both mdl as well as pyj files from Transformer
- Built two scripts to build the cubes, one using mdl file and one using pyj file. Only difference being using -m for mdl and -p for pyj

1)cogtr.exe -n2 -m"C:\Transformer_WIP\Models\Test_GK.mdl"
vs
2)cogtr.exe -n2 -p"C:\Transformer_WIP\Models\Test_GK.pyj"

All else is valid.
mdl script works fine and builds the cube.
pyj script brings up transformer window and dies right away. Cube is not created.

Anyone run into a similar situation?
Any ideas as to what may be causing this?
Oh by the way, using Cognos Package as a data source.
Thanks.

No, and no - but I do have some advice: throw out that binary and stick with .mdl!
Never heard of anyone having trouble with an mdl, or of a good reason for using the binary version.
