IBM Cognos Transformer

IBM® Cognos® Transformer is the metadata modeling tool for creating PowerCubes for use with IBM Cognos products.

Transformer can be made available more easily for business specialists who want to design models and build PowerCubes for their own use. For example, IT departments can provide business specialists or Transformer modelers with a Web-based, downloadable installation program from a corporate or secured portal, allowing for easy distribution of the installation files.

Transformer consists of the following components:

  • UNIX and Linux® operating system utility for building PowerCubes
  • IBM Cognos Transformer client

    This component must be installed on a Windows computer.

Both components must be installed to a different location than IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson.

Default settings are used for the configuration. You can change these default settings if necessary. However, the settings must be the same as for IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson.
