Appendix A: Context Help Both PowerCubes created with PowerPlay Transformer and third party OLAP sources modified with PowerPlay Connect can allow drill-through. PowerPlay Windows Target Specifies the server that contains the cube you want to provide drill-through access to. This reference may be to a PowerPlay Server group or it may be quoted as a specific server name and port number combination. If a server group definition is used in this property, you can take advantage of increased fault tolerance that the server group definition contains. PowerPlay Enterprise Server resolves the machine name, port number, and URL from the server configuration file (cern.csx). PowerPlay Web Target Specifies the URL to the PowerPlay Web gateway program, such as http://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi.exe Depending on how your network is configured, you may also need to include the domain name, such as http://webgate.yourorg.com/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi To specify a port number other than the default port 80, append the number to the server name, such as http://webgate:88/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi.exe If your Web server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), specify the HTTPS protocol with the server name, such as https://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi Use the PowerPlay Server group in this field if you specified a server group in the PowerPlay Server Group field. PowerPlay Enterprise Server resolves the URL from the server configuration file. PowerPlay Web Drill Through Newsbox Specifies that users can drill through from PowerPlay to targets that are not in the root server folder. Cube definitions can reference drill-through targets contained in an Upfront NewsBox hierarchy. Cognos Query Allows users to drill through to details in Cognos Query. Use to enable or disable drill-through access in the client application. Cognos Query Server Specifies the URL to the Cognos Query gateway program, such as http://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi.exe Depending on how your network is configured, you may also need to include the domain name, such as http://webgate.yourorg.com/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi To specify a port number other than the default port 80, append the number to the server name, such as http://webgate:88/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi.exe If your Web server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), specify the HTTPS protocol with the server name, such as https://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/cqcgi Impromptu Web Reports Allows users to drill through to details in an Impromptu report. Use to enable or disable drill-through access in the client application. Impromptu Web Reports Drill Through Newsbox Specifies the Upfront Newsbox of the published report set that contains the target drill-through report. For example, if the drill-through report go.imr is located in the Great Outdoors folder, type Great Outdoors in this box. The .imr file name must also be written in the cube if it was built using the cube/measure drill through properties in PowerPlay Transformer and was therefore included at build time. 96 Cognos PowerPlay (R)
Appendix A: Context Help Impromptu Web Reports Server Specifies the URL to the Impromptu Web Reports gateway program on Windows and UNIX, such as http://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/imrap.cgi Depending on how your network is configured, you may also need to include the domain name. For example, http://webgate.yourorg.com/cognos/cgi-bin/imrap.cgi To specify a port number other than the default port 80, append the number to the server name, such as http://webgate:88/cognos/cgi-bin/imrap.cgi If your Web server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), specify the HTTPS protocol with the server name., such as https://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/imrap.cgi Cognos ReportNet/Cognos 8 Allows users to drill through to details in Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8. Use to enable or disable drill-through access in the client application. Cognos ReportNet/Cognos 8 Server Specifies the URL to the Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8 gateway program on Windows and UNIX, such as http://webgate/crn/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi Depending on how your network is configured, you may also need to include the domain name. For example, http://webgate.yourorg.com/crn/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi To specify a port number other than the default port 80, append the number to the server name, such as http://webgate:88/crn/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi If your Web server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), specify the HTTPS protocol with the server name., such as https://webgate/crn/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi Cognos ReportNet/Cognos 8 Folder Specifies the Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8 folder that contains the target drill-through report. Cognos ReportNet/Cognos 8 Assistance Specifies that when users click Drill Through on a cube, the Assist Drill Through page opens. Use this page to identify the parameters that are defined for the drill through report. Connect to Server Server Name Specifies the name or IP address of the PowerPlay server to log on to. The computer must be running PowerPlay Enterprise Server, that is, have a dispatcher installed. The Windows service Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server or UNIX daemon ppserver must be started. If you want to connect to a server that is not using the default port number (8010), you must provide the port number as part of the server name. For example, Srv01:8060 connects to server Srv01 on port 8060. Password Type a password, if one exists, for the PowerPlay server. Set Server Password Server Name Specifies the server name or IP address of the PowerPlay server. Enterprise Server Guide 97
