Hi,

It all depends what components of Cognos 7 you have, and how /where the data is stored and structured.

There are a few posts on here which you might start by looking at:

http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php/topic,18336.0.html

http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php/board,85.0.html

http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php/board,89.0.html

There are also some good resources and info documents on the IBM website:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/page149.html

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/c8bi/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.inst_cr_winux.8.4.0.doc/inst_cr_winux_id3602UpgradingfromSeries7.html

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27015117

Finally, also browse through the IBM upgrade centre. It is written for Cognos 10, but as 8 and 10 have essentially the same architecture, lots of it is relevant in your case.

Good luck!
