使用MotioPI恢复Framework Manager的Package

当我们本地存储的FM Package损坏后，我们还是可以用CognosContent Store里面的数据恢复。而且Cognos也提供了一些文章来指导如何操作，可能要敲一大堆命令并且重启Cognos服务。Howto recover a corrupted or lost Framework Manager model

从网上搜索到一个免费的软件MotioPI可以用来恢复FM的Package非常方便。

 

 

Have you ever lost or corrupted a Cognos Framework Manager Model? Have you ever wished you could recover the lost model based on information which is stored in your Cognos Content Store (e.g. a package which was published from the lost model)? You're in luck! You can use MotioPI (a free tool for Cognos admins) to recreate your Framework Manager Model's "model.xml" file with just a few simple clicks.

 

1. First - open up Framework Manager and create a new (empty) Framework Model. In the example shown below, we've called it "recover-lost-model".

 

 

Looking in Windows Explorer, you can see that Framework Manager creates 9 files for this new Framework Model, the most important of which is model.xml (this file contains the model information).

 

Now close Framework Manager.

 

2. Now we're going to use MotioPI to recover the model.xml file for the lost model from Cognos.
After you've launched MotioPI, go to the Model panel and click on the Package Selector button.

 

 

3. Now, select a package which was published from the Framework Model you're trying to recover.

 

 

4. Lastly, click on the "save spec" button to recover the model.xml file for the lost Framework Model.

 

 

5. Save the recovered model.xml file over the model.xml file which was created as part of the blank Framework Manager model in step 1.
