CognosPackageMake
The
CognosPackageMake verb
creates a package or report data source definition in the model. If
one already exists, it is updated. If one does not exist, it is added.
The package or report definition is a reference to a package or report
that is defined in IBM® Cognos®. You can then create a
data source definition which has columns based on items that are selected
from the package or report.
Note: To insert a dimension from a package (the Insert
Dimension From Package command on the Edit menu,
you must first add the package and data source and then add a dimension
from the data source. For more information about adding a dimension
from a data source, see DimAdd.
The syntax for a query based on an IBM Cognos package or report is as follows:
CognosPackageMake objDataSource [cognospackage_opts]| Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
| CognosPackageMake objDataSource |
Creates the data source objDataSource. objDataSource must be the object name and can include the object identifier. |
| cognospackage_opts |
Optional parameters that can describe the package or report in greater detail. For the complete list of options, see cognospackageopts. |
