Generating Categories From A Specified Data Source - IBM Cognos User Manual

Generating Categories from a Specified Data Source

If your model is based on more than one data source, you may find it useful to
generate categories from a specific source, such as the one that supplies your key
structural data or the values for your time dimension, rather than from all the data
sources.
You can generate categories from a selected data source with a simple Run
command, without having to adjust the Timing controls for the cube on the Data
Source property sheet.
Procedure
1. In the Data Sources list, select the data source you want to use to generate
categories.
2. From the Run menu, click Generate Categories From Selected Data Source.
3. Take note of any error messages. If a Help button is available, click it to review
additional troubleshooting information.
