Run Noetix Answer Builder
The Noetix Answer Builder generates metadata for custom prebuilt reports based upon the Noetix views. After successfully running the Noetix Answer Builder, you must run Noetix generators to generate the metadata generated by the Noetix Answer Builder into the meta-layers of the business intelligence (BI) tools.
You can run the Noetix Answer Builder when prompted during Stage 4. Alternatively, after the views are generated, you can start NoetixViews Administrator, and click Answer Builder on the Tools menu or click on the toolbar. You can also generate answers using scripts. For doing this, use SQL*Plus on a computer that is running Windows or UNIX, and run the ianswers.sql script. For more information, see Available SQL and MS-DOS Scripts in “Maintenance.”
Important: If there are any errors detected during Stage 4, you cannot generate Noetix answers.
