cognos OLAP conversion to ms analysis service

Hello All,
I am new to this group. I am looking for a tool that will convert cognos
OLAp cubes into ms OLAP cubes. Anybody has an idea?
Thanks a lot
Angie..
Won't work using Replication - I'd repost in the Analysis Services/OLAP
groups....

Code page conversion shortcut?

Is there a simple way to avoid having to use a data conversion task to convert Unicode data (from DB2) to ANSI format (for insert to Oracle)?

I'm hoping that there is a way to set the code page property on the OLEDB driver so that it implicitly converts to the format I want instead of having to explicitly force the conversion in the package.

Thoughts? suggestions?

In the intervening month, the best method I've come up with is to use the SSIS wizard to build/rebuild the Data Flow. By default the wizard creates the Data Flow with the data conversion task in place, which saves a lot of time over performing the task manually.

To access the wizard, right click on the "SSIS Packages" node of the Solution Explorer and choose "SSIS Import and Export Wizard..." This will create a new package, but the data flow object can be cut from the new package and pasted into an existing one.

I did not find any way to tweak the code page settings on the source driver to cast to an ANSI code page.
