APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Update requested to the Transformer User Guide around the use of
  pcactivate. Client version is 10.1.1 but this is an applicable
  update to all supported versions of Cognos 8 and Cognos 10
  Transformer.????Item # 1:????Requesting that more detail or a
  "additional note" be placed on the section surrounding
  pcactivate as such and please note the exact context does not
  have to be exact as long as the message is still
  delivered:??????????"When using pcactivate if there is a cube (
  .mdc ) that is in the location you are trying to use that
  pcativate will quit because of this.  ??It will see this file
  and realize it's not a 'stub' file but the actual cube and thus
  can not complete the pcactivate process.                    ??
  
        ??If you delete / rename the cube from that location and
  run pcactivate you will be good to go for that run and all runs
  after that."    ??????Item # 2:????Update the information
  surrounding the -g switch for command line options.????"When
  using -g for a deployment between two servers that a UNC pat
  will work unless it is Solaris environment. If it is Solaris
  then a nfs  ??/ share & mount solution will have to be put into
  place."                 ??
                                    ??This update is specific to
  the Transformer UNIX guide
