Transformer in UNIX

[Francis aka khayman]

Sorry this is driving me nuts already  :(

Just installed Cognos transformer in UNIX and no GUI yet, only command lines.

1. How do I configure the location of the log files?
2. Currently the cube and deployment locations are configured in windows:
(example)
cube location = c:\cube_location
deployment = d:\deployment

how will i change this so that in UNIX it gets configured as:
(example)
cube location = \cube_location
deployment = \deployment

its should be edited in cogtr.xml in configuration folder     ;D

now i am progressing... but encountered another error...

our cube is successfully getting deployed when processed in windows. but i am trying to move the processing in Linux.

obviously the cube is created in windows and i ftp it in Linux folder. i then run the cogtr in Linux with a -g option, i get a TR3811 error something like the cube was created in another platform.

i am like DUH?!?!?!?!  :o :o :o of course it is created in another platform as Transformer do not have GUI in linux. or that there is no command line to create the cube from the model (well not that i know of)

am i missing something here???

Hi,

Wouldn't you just use the cogtr command to build the cube from your model file on the Linux server? As long as the linux server can see the model file and the data sources it ought to be able to build the cube from the command line?
