Have a few questions on Decision Stream .Would appreciate if somebody could reply .
1) Can DS unix connect to Oracle 8i through ODBC drivers
2) Does the licencing on Unix depend on the machine ( authorization key)
and if yes, is it possible to uninstall DS from one machine and then
re install on other machine( same licence)
3) Does Cognos DS need to be installed using root user .
I already have installed it using a root user, but now if I want to run job streams, do I need to have root password, or can priviledges be given to a new user ( cognos) to be able to execute the builds and run the job stream
4)The Unix installation comes with a windows component. This means that I have to install the windows component on my machine and create the build there( cannot execute or validate it ).then physically move them to unix server ( using some user id and password in unix) and run it from there. right?
5) DS unix can write metadata only to transformer in unix and not to Architect and Impromptu. right ? Is there any work around for this
6) Once I have this metadata in transformer, can i straight away start building reports on that cube, or are there some steps which are to be taken bofore doing so?
7) Are there some features in DS unix, which are not available on the evaluation copy, but are available on the licenced copy . esp, transformation libraries?
