Getting started with Cognos Cube Designer

IBM® Cognos® Cube Designer is the modeling tool provided with IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes. You use it to build dynamic cubes and publish them for use in the IBM Cognos studios.

To get started, you import metadata from a relational database. Using the metadata, you model dynamic cubes and save the cube definitions in a project. After you publish the cubes, they are listed as data sources in Content Manager and their related packages are available to report authors.

Note: Administrator privileges are required for the account that is used to run Cognos Cube Designer.
