Model nowhere to be found - help!

[al91206]

Just joined a company and they have been developing reports on a multidimensional framework model, however this package was developed some years ago and nobody remembers where the model is located.

Is there any way to either reverse engineer this model or locate it via FM, Report Studio, or any other component of Cognos?  We're using 8.4.1 on Win Server 2003 R2.  All components are on one server (content store, app server, web server).

Thanks!

It can be recovered from the content store:

Good luck! I've never had to do it :)

GREAT!  Thanks very much.  I thought I had looked everywhere but only found a method that specifically excluded Cognos 8.4.

I'll schedule this for afterhours.  I'll post the outcome for others doing the same.

Thanks again!
