Create a Package for a PowerCube

Before you can use a PowerCube data source in any of the IBM® Cognos® studios, you must create a package.

Procedure

  1. Complete the steps in Create a Package.
  2. Enter a name for the package, and click Next.
  3. Select the null-suppression options you want to make available to the IBM Cognos studio user:
    • Allow Null Suppression enables suppression.
    • Allow Multi-Edge Suppression allows the studio user to suppress values on more than one edge.
    • Allow Access to Suppression Options allows the studio user to choose which types of values will be suppressed, such as zeros or missing values. By default, all null values are suppressed when suppression is enabled.
  4. Click Finish.
