How to create the data source in cognos 8.4.1 for cubes

[jd]

Hi,

We are migrating series7 transformer cubes and ppx reports to cognos 8.4.1.
In development I have migrated series7 cubes to cognos8.4.1 using migration assistance tool.  Now I can open them in power play studio (source is IQDs for the cubes).

Here is my question: our plan is to get rid of series7 and continue with cognos8.  But our transformer cube source is IQD. How can I create the data sources for the cubes in cognos8? We have more than 100 cubes.

Hi,

You have two choices - continue to use IQDs, which can be created from Framework Manager, or (probably a better solution) use Cognos 8 packages or reports as data sources instead of IQDs.

Regards,
