Create CSV files for data sources in a Transformer Model to provide a portable testcase.

Troubleshooting


Problem

When there is a requirement to build a Cognos PowerCube when there there will be no network access to a Cognos Analytics Package or Report or IQD based data source,  you can prepare CSV files with Powerplay Transformer that can be substituted as data sources.
This can be used for demonstration purposes or for providing a portable testcase to support.  It avoids the need for replicating the same relational database with database scripts, data exports, matching database versions in a separate environment.
