Opening Cognos Cubes in any other tool

[sureshedara]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where we have to ship the Cognos powerplay cubes(.mdc files) to our client and the client wants to open the Cubes using any other desktop tool like an excel or something.Is there a way to achieve this.


We are using Cognos 8.3


Please let me know your suggestions.

No, you can see cubes only with "Cognos Powerplay" or from "Cognos Connection" with "Analisys Studio" or "Report Studio".
