X Option; Y Options - IBM Cognos User Manual

Because the option syntax does not reference a model file, -v is used in
combination with -c, -m, or -p, each of which does reference a model file.
The syntax for using the -v option is as follows:
cogtr -vdata_subset_number
The following example processes a subset of the records in the binary model file
Xyzsales.pyj (525 records), generating categories, and creating the test cube.
cogtr -c -pXyzsales.pyj -v525

-x option

This option updates the column and measure scales of the MDL model, provided
the data source can handle queries about scale. Therefore the option is supported
for relational data sources, but not ASCII or other flat-file data sources.
All column scales are first checked to confirm that they match those in the source.
Then, the associated measures are checked and their output scales are updated, as
required.
The syntax for using the -x option is as follows:
cogtr -x -mfilename.mdl
The following Windows example opens the Field3.mdl file and grants access to the
required database using the signon named field, user ID CarlosR, and password
pw462. Assuming that the signon matches what is defined in the model, the process
runs in batch mode, updates scales of columns defined in the model, and saves it
back to the model.
cogtr -n -x -o -s -kfield=CarlosR/pw462 -mField3.mdl

-y options

This option specifies how IBM Cognos Series 7 user-class security conversion is
performed.
You can use the -y options alone to save changes to the model file, or you can use
it in combination with other options.
The -y options correspond to the three security import options in the Import
model with IBM Cognos Series 7 user class view dialog box. For more
information, see "Upgrade an IBM Cognos Series 7 Secured PowerCube" on page
158.
-y1 option
Choose this option when you want to maintain the view operations applied in the
user class views and use the IBM Cognos Series 7 user classes.
During the transition from a Series 7 namespace to an alternate security provider,
you can use the PowerCube property All applicable namespaces to associate all
applicable namespaces during migration testing. When you associate all the
applicable namespaces to the cube, you can ensure that the group, role, or user
dimensional filtering is consistent with that which had been applied for the IBM
Cognos Series 7 user class. This option is supported only for migration testing, and
cannot be used to deploy cubes in production environments.
