Publishing the model using IBM Cognos Framework Manager

If you want to add objects to the TADDM data model (model.xml file), you must edit the file, and then import it using IBM® Cognos® Framework Manager.

To import the data model using IBM Cognos Framework Manager, complete the following steps:

1. Start IBM Cognos Framework Manager.
2. Create a new project.

   Unselect the Use Dynamic Query Mode option if selected so that packages can use Compatible Query Mode (CQM).

3. Close the IBM Cognos Framework Manager.
4. Copy the following file from the TADDM server to the Cognos Framework project folder:

   $COLLATION_HOME/etc/reporting/tcr/model.xml

   Overwrite the existing model.xml file in the Cognos Framework project folder.
5. Start IBM Cognos Framework Manager and open the project you created earlier.
6. In the Project Viewer pane, click Data Sources > content_manager_data_source_name.
7. If you are using a DB2® database with a different name than the one that is defined in the Cognos database source, replace the contents of the Schema field with the DB2 instance name used for the TADDM database.
8. Save the project.
9. In the Project Viewer pane, click Packages.
10. Right-click the package name and select Publish Packages.
    1. Unselect the Use Dynamic Query Mode option if selected so that packages can use Compatible Query Mode (CQM).
    2. Click Publish. Verifying and publishing the TADDM Cognos model might take several minutes.
