Ensure that the machine where Transformer is installed has sufficient memory to
perform the import. If physical memory is limited, Transformer may perform the
operation very slowly. In this situation, you can end the task using Task Manager.
Categories Missing When Creating a Transformer Model
Based on an SAP Query Containing a Manually Created SAP
Structure
The stream extract interface that reads the fact data doesn't handle certain features
of the SAP queries. A manually created structure in the query will look like a
dimension when Cognos Transformer completes the import from the Framework
Manager package, but incomplete data is returned. A dimension added to the SAP
query as a characteristic will look like a dimension but no data is returned.
If you must use a BEx query with these limitations, consider turning off the stream
extract and rely on an MDX query. Note that if the MDX query is large, it may fail.
Error Occurs When Creating a PowerCube Containing an SAP
Unbalanced Hierarchy
You import an SAP package into Transformer that contains an unbalanced, ragged
hierarchy and you receive a TR2317 error when you create a PowerCube.
To avoid this error, before generating categories for the dimension, do the
following steps.
Procedure
1. In the Dimension Map, right-click the lowest level in the ragged unbalanced
2. Click Properties and on the Source tab, click Move.
3. From the Run menu, click Generate Categories.
4. From the Run menu, click Create PowerCubes.
Rebuilding a PowerCube Soon After Publishing Produces a
TR0787 Error
After publishing a PowerCube using the Publish wizard in Transformer, the
PowerCube file is locked for a few minutes by the IBM Cognos server.
If you attempt to rebuild the cube during this time, the cube build may fail, with
Transformer error TR0787 indicating that the cube is being used by another
application.
To avoid this situation, do one of the following:
v Do not use the Publish wizard to publish the cube.
v Wait for the file lock to be released, and then rebuild the cube.
v Build the cube in a location that is different from the location where the cube is
Using the cube group in the sample model Employee

The sample model Employee expenses.mdl contains a cube group named
Employee that includes a few PowerCubes. These are only virtual PowerCubes. If
