Working Offline

You can continue to work with IBM® Cognos® PowerPlay® even when you are not connected to the original cube or the network on which the cube is stored.

You can prepare a report containing a subset of the cube data and save the data for this report as a sub-cube (.mdc). When you save only the information used to create the report, you are limited to using the dimensions that were saved.

When you are finished working offline, you can automatically update the sub-cube with data from the original cube.
