-y1 option

Choose this option when you want to maintain the view operations applied in the user class views and use the IBM® Cognos® Series 7 user classes.

During the transition from a Series 7 namespace to an alternate security provider, you can use the PowerCube property All applicable namespaces to associate all applicable namespaces during migration testing. When you associate all the applicable namespaces to the cube, you can ensure that the group, role, or user dimensional filtering is consistent with that which had been applied for the IBM Cognos Series 7 user class. This option is supported only for migration testing, and cannot be used to deploy cubes in production environments.

The -y1 option requires that you configure the IBM Cognos Series 7 security on which the upgraded model was designed as an available namespace in IBM Cognos. The unique identifier that locates the user class in Access Manager is converted to an IBM Cognos identifier, and this process will fail if you use this option with a different Series 7 namespace.

The following example

  • runs cogtr.exe in batch mode, does not generate cubes or update categories
  • saves the .mdl file
  • preserves the IBM Cognos Series 7 user class views and user classes associated with the IBM Cognos Series 7 model
  • logs onto the GO namespace with the Administrator user name and no password
cogtr.exe -n2 -ox -s -y1GOnamespace=Administrator/ -mNationalV7.mdl
