Installing the IBM Cognos Samples
4. Running the Dynamic Cube Samples
Now you can install the Dynamic Cube samples. Remember that it is required that the previous steps need to be executed successfully before enabling the Dynamic Cubes samples. This means restoring the sample databases and creating the necessary data source connections for it in IBM Cognos Administration. Also make sure that the Cognos user that is going to run the Dynamic Cubes has trusted credentials.
- Open IBM Cognos Cube Designer.
- Click the “Open Project” button, locate and open the file “model.fmd”. You can find this file in the folder “\\installationlocation\webcontent\samples\models\great_outdoors_dynamiccube\sqlserver”
- Log on
- If correct, you should now see a source and project definition based on the GOSALESDW database.
- In the project explorer three, locate the “gosldw_sales” cube, right-click and choose publish.
- In the Publish options you can select “Add the dynamic cube to the default dispatcher” and “Start the dynamic cube”.
- Make sure that the user assigned to the cube in Cognos has trusted credentials.
- Click ok.
- Repeat these steps, based on the same model, for gosldw_target and gosldw_sales_and_target
- Go to IBM Cognos Administration and select “Data Stores” in the “Status” tab. Verify that the dynamic cube is visible and available.
That should do it.
