Generating the reporting framework
When you generate the Reporting Framework V6, the packages for all or selected framework models are published to the Cognos® server with relationship and dimensional subnamespaces.
Note: You should not use IBM®
Cognos Framework Manager to modify the packages.
The packages are dynamically created and recreated when you launch the OpenPages® Reporting Framework Generator. If you made changes using IBM
Cognos Framework Manager, those changes are lost
when you launch the OpenPages Reporting Framework
Generator. If you would like to create a custom Cognos package, see your OpenPages Managing Consultant.
