Please see the Product Compatibility Reports below for your product.

Resolving The Problem

It is possible to create Framework Manager models on UNIX and LINUX based platforms and operating systems.

However to do so, you need to utilize the Framework Manager SDK component, Part of the SDK Product installation.
This is a separately licensed product for IBM Cognos.

You can use the Framework Manager SDK to perform all the same metadata modeling tasks and processes as the Framework Manager application.

For example, you can:
- import a data source
- enhance query subjects with SQL
- expressions and filters
- create model query subjects to extend value of data source query subjects
- create a basic package
- publish a package to report authors

The Framework Manager SDK supports two methods of modeling metadata in addition to the Framework Manager GUI application, namely the BMTScriptPlayer and the SDK MDProvider.

Each of these methods allows you to perform metadata modeling and create a Framework Manager package, that you can publish for report authors.
For further information on how to obtain the IBM Cognos SDK, please contact your IBM Cognos Account or Sales representative.
If you already have the license to use IBM Cognos SDK, please refer to Framework Manager Developer Guide, that is included with this SDK product install.

Documentation can be found in the installation under ../webcontent/Documentation/en for English, for example.
