-e option

This option updates and saves all the cube metadata that is defined in the model, but does not update the data. The cube metadata consists of object names, labels, short names, descriptions, drill-through reports, and security information.

You cannot use this option with -c, and you should always use it in combination with the -n and -o options, to run in Windows batch mode and suppress cube creation. Otherwise, you defeat the purpose of this command.

The syntax for using the -e option is as follows:

cogtr -e -pfilename.py?|-m
filename.mdl

The following Windows example opens the New.pyj model file and updates the defined cubes without regenerating existing categories or creating new ones. It then saves the model file along with its updated cube metadata: that is, the object names, labels, descriptions, drill-through reports, and security information.
