Connect to Cognos Cubes

[ali_hijazi]

Hello

I'm new to QlikView; a client has cognos software and wants to connect to Cognos Cube

may you please help me with a HOW-TO example

Hi,

I don't think that is it possible, as, the Cognos cube files are not readable without Cognos tools.

But, you can take the queries used in Transformer to generate the cube and use them in your QV script.

And, as Transformer links the datasources with the name of the column, it will be easy to reproduce the identical datamodel.

This solution needs some work (and lot of work if your cube is complex) and maintenance will not be easiest.

If someone knows another solution, I'm interrested.

Regards,

Vincent
