Creating a Model in Cognos Transformer

Use Cognos Transformer to access a published SAP-based package and use it as a
data source to create a model. After the model is created, you can create
PowerCubes for use with the desired IBM Cognos component, accessing the
dimensional and fact data from the original SAP BW source. In addition, you can
combine the SAP metadata in a Cognos Transformer model with other corporate
metadata or personal sources provided you have the necessary matching key
information to join the data during cube building.
When you create the Cognos Transformer model, you must use the Insert
Dimension from Package wizard rather than the New Model Wizard. You use the
Insert Dimension from Package wizard because it
v creates a single query for each dimension and for the facts.
v imports facts and dimensions in the same manner as dimensionally-modeled
relational models. That is, facts and dimensions are imported at the same time.
