Report Studio allows you to create the data model from a query and thereby skipping Framework Manager. Given that this feature is available, in what scenarios would one want to skip Framework Manager? Is Framework Manager an un-needed overhead?

Actually the it is not possible to make reports without packages and packages can be build in FM. So no way one can skip FM and create reports.Adding to it,we need metadata (created in FM) to create relations among tables or views and also creating objects which satisfies reporting need.

In Cognos ReporNet, it is not possible to directly create reports from the Data Warehouse without creating a Model (or) Package in Framework Manager.

However, it is possible with the tools like Hyperion.

Pakcage is mandatory. But if there is any query you are not able to build through Report Studio, you can directly enter SQL query .
