PowerPlay Client

PowerPlay Client lets users create, view, format, and distribute reports that are based on local and remote PowerCubes. PowerPlay Client provides functionality to users without the requirement of a full server installation. However, it depends on the Cognos Analytics server to process reports that are based on remote PowerCubes.

PowerPlay Client is installed separately from Cognos PowerPlay and Cognos Analytics, and cannot be installed to the same directory as these two products.

Samples

The samples include sample PowerCubes and PowerPlay reports. The PowerPlay samples are included with the Cognos Analytics supplementary samples.

You download the supplementary samples from the supplementary samples website (www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/supplementary-ibm-cognos-analytics-11-samples). The samples are packaged as LegacySamples.zip. This file includes a number of deployment archives, including the deployments that are used with PowerPlay, IBM_Cognos_PowerPlay.zip and IBM_Cognos_DrillThroughSamples.zip. The samples are based on data from the great_outdoors_sales_en.mdc and sales_and_marketing.mdc sample PowerCubes.

For information about setting up the PowerPlay samples, see the IBM Cognos PowerPlay Administration Guide in IBM Cognos Analytics Knowledge Center (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.cbi.doc/welcome.html), Version 11.0.x, section PowerPlay and Transformer.
