Both PowerCubes created with PowerPlay Transformer and third party OLAP sources modified<br />
with PowerPlay Connect can allow drill-through.<br />
PowerPlay Windows Target<br />
Specifies the server that contains the cube you want to provide drill-through access to. This<br />
reference may be to a PowerPlay Server group or it may be quoted as a specific server name and<br />
port number combination. If a server group definition is used in this property, you can take<br />
advantage of increased fault tolerance that the server group definition contains. PowerPlay<br />
Enterprise Server resolves the machine name, port number, and URL from the server configuration<br />
file (cern.csx).<br />
PowerPlay Web Target<br />
Specifies the URL to the PowerPlay Web gateway program, such as<br />
http://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi.exe<br />
Depending on how your network is configured, you may also need to include the domain name,<br />
such as http://webgate.yourorg.com/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi<br />
To specify a port number other than the default port 80, append the number to the server name,<br />
such as http://webgate:88/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi.exe<br />
If your Web server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), specify the HTTPS protocol with the server<br />
name, such as https://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi<br />
Use the PowerPlay Server group in this field if you specified a server group in the PowerPlay<br />
Server Group field. PowerPlay Enterprise Server resolves the URL from the server configuration<br />
file.<br />
PowerPlay Web Drill Through Newsbox<br />
Specifies that users can drill through from PowerPlay to targets that are not in the root server<br />
folder. Cube definitions can reference drill-through targets contained in an Upfront NewsBox<br />
hierarchy.<br />
Cognos Query<br />
Allows users to drill through to details in Cognos Query. Use to enable or disable drill-through<br />
access in the client application.<br />
Cognos Query Server<br />
Specifies the URL to the Cognos Query gateway program, such as<br />
http://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi.exe<br />
Depending on how your network is configured, you may also need to include the domain name,<br />
such as http://webgate.yourorg.com/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi<br />
To specify a port number other than the default port 80, append the number to the server name,<br />
such as http://webgate:88/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi.exe<br />
If your Web server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), specify the HTTPS protocol with the server<br />
name, such as https://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi<br />
Impromptu Web Reports<br />
Allows users to drill through to details in an Impromptu report. Use to enable or disable<br />
drill-through access in the client application.<br />
Impromptu Web Reports Drill Through Newsbox<br />
Specifies the Upfront Newsbox of the published report set that contains the target drill-through<br />
report. For example, if the drill-through report go.imr is located in the Great Outdoors folder,<br />
type Great Outdoors in this box. The .imr file name must also be written in the cube if it was built<br />
using the cube/measure drill through properties in PowerPlay Transformer and was therefore<br />
included at build time.<br />
