Configuring Transformer

As a business specialist or Transformer modeler, use the following steps to configure Transformer.

Procedure

  1. Go to the same Web or LAN location as the Transformer installation file.
  2. If any .xml files are present, copy them to the Transformer_location\configuration directory, where Transformer_location is the directory where you installed Transformer.
  3. If an .ini file is present, copy it to the Transformer_location\CS7Gateways\bin directory.
  4. Go to the Transformer_location\bin directory.
  5. Type the configuration command:

    ./cogconfig.bat -s

    IBM® Cognos® Configuration applies the configuration settings specified in the local copy of cogstartup.xml, encrypts credentials, generates digital certificates, and starts the IBM Cognos services.

  6. To test IBM Cognos Transformer, from the Start menu, go to programs and click IBM Cognos Transformer.

    If you see the Transformer window, your installation is working.

  7. After Transformer is installed and running successfully, delete the installation files that were extracted from the installation file.
