About this task

To upload the extended model to either the QA or Production environment, follow steps from the Cognos® Framework Manager documentation with the following difference:

Procedure

  1. Set the URIs for the Cognos Framework Manager to the appropriate environment (QA or production) to upload your package or models to that environment. The URIs can be in the following format:
    • Gateway URI: https://<cognos application url ending in .com>:443/bi/v1/disp
    • Dispatcher URI for external applications: https://<cognos application url ending in .com>:443/p2pd/servlet/dispatch
    Note: The format of these URLs are subject to change without notice. If you experience issues connecting to the Cognos server from Framework Manager, refer to the instructions in the Framework Manager guide for the server, found on the Cognos server at Team Content > Framework Manager > Framework Manager.
  2. Save the configuration changes and close the configurator.
  3. Open Cognos Framework Manager and select the project for the package that you want to upload.
  4. Expand the data sources tab. If there are two data sources present, say SMCF_TRANSACTION and some smcf-<environment tenant id>, you might have to modify the second data source. If this data source is not present, or if the <environment> (QA or Production) in the tenant id matches the environment that you are publishing to, you can skip this step. Click smcf-<environment tenant id> and edit the Name and Content Manager Data Source fields to ensure that the tenant id in both places refers to the environment to which you are publishing.
    For example, smcf-<qa tenant id> to smcf-<prod tenant id>.
    Note: Do not modify the SMCF_TRANSACTION data source, as it already determines the correct data source programmatically.
  5. Expand Packages and right-click SMCF-Analytics (or the name of your package, if different) and select "Publish Packages..."
    Note: The application-provided model on the server is in run only mode, which means you cannot overwrite it, but instead you must either publish to a subfolder or rename the model.
  6. Select the location on the server where you want to publish the package and click Next.
  7. Click Next again. If required, select validate model before publishing. This step runs a check on the model that might inform you of errors. Clear the option to publish the model without running the check.
