Hi Friends,

I need help on cognos migration from dev to prod instances of schedules and groups along with the reports.

Please advise me on this.

Thanks,
Surendra

Hi Surendra,

Cognos 8 Administration and Security Guide has the following on the subject:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/c8bi/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.8.4.0.doc/ug_cra_id18622export_data.html

Groups and Roles, Schedules, Packages and folders are all items that can be included or excluded in export\import tasks.

I don't think you can export an individual report in this way (excluding all other package\folder content), but if you really need to get a single report from dev to prod, you can always open Report Studio in source environment, copy report xml to clipboard, then open Report Studio in target environment, open report from clipboard and save.

Hope that helps,

Simon
