Deploying and publishing dynamic cubes

When you finish modeling a dynamic cube in IBM® Cognos® Cube Designer, you can deploy it as an OLAP data source to Content Manager. To work with a deployed cube in the IBM Cognos studios, you must also publish a Framework Manager package for it, configure the cube as a data source, and start the cube.

You use the Publish option to deploy a dynamic cube. You can also perform the additional tasks required to publish a cube in one step.

• Select all options

  This option publishes a Framework Manager package for the deployed dynamic cube, then configures and starts the cube.

• Publish the package in: My Folders

  By default, the cube name is used as the Framework Manager package name. You can specify a different package name in the Package Name box.

  Tip: You can move the location of published packages by using IBM Cognos Administration.
• Add the dynamic cube to the default dispatcher

  This option configures the deployed dynamic cube as a data source.

• Start the dynamic cube

  This option starts the dynamic cube, if you also configure the cube as a data source.

  Note: The Dispatcher URI specified when configuring Cognos Cube Designer must be identical to the Dispatcher URI specified when configuring the IBM Cognos Analytics server. However, the Dispatcher URI specified when configuring Cognos Cube Designer must be in lowercase even if the Dispatcher URI specified when configuring the IBM Cognos Analytics server is in uppercase.
• Associate my account and signon with the cube datasource

  This option allows you to use credentials to access the data source in the IBM Cognos Studios.

  Select if anonymous access is disabled. Your account must use associated credentials. Go to the Personal tab in the Set preferences dialog of the IBM Cognos Portal, and create your credentials.
