How to convert from a pyh to pyi model format?
The easiest way to convert from PYH to PYI is to open the model in the earlier Cognos version (for instance PowerPlay Transformer 6), save it as an MDL file, then open it in the newer version of PowerPlay Transformer (version 7 or 8) and save into the PYI format which is native to that versions. It’s recommended to keep powerplay models in both output formats (PYI and MDL) and use PYI for cube recreation and have MDL as a backup and for the modelling. The PowerPlay PowerCubes created from all model types are stored in the MDC format.
