transformer documents notes

The Transformer 8.3 executable name is now cogtr.exe on Windows, and cogtr
on UNIX/Linux.

Scale
Decimal values are read into the model based on a scale that you
specify.

You apply security to an entire PowerCube or cube group by setting a
password to restrict access to authorized users.
cogtr.xml seems to be useful.
You can invoke Transformer from the command line to populate models,
create cubes, and perform other actions. How and where these actions are
performed is determined by information that you provide.
Command Line Options

Transformer can perform certain modeling and cube-building tasks from the
Windows, UNIX or Linux command line.

Note: You must invoke the command line utilities from the directory where
the Transformer executable resides. In Transformer 8.3, this is the bin
directory.

This document provides the syntax for the following routine tasks:

opening and deleting checkpoint files

verifying and, if necessary, updating the scales used in MDL model columns
and measures to match those used in the data source

publishing cubes in Content Manager

supporting Cognos 8 prompts

opening specified .mdl files and executing MDL statements

specifying the number of records for a test cube

regenerating categories, and the measure scales used with them, without
building the cube
