Migration from Series 7 to cognos 10.2 Powerplay

I am currently trying to migrate ppx reports from series 7 to cognos 10.2, has anyone done this before using the migration assistant tool in Cognos BI 10.2. If so, please advice.

Thanks.

Hi,

I demoed it a couple of times back in the days of Cognos 8. It seemed pretty straightforward back then. What are you struggling with?

Thanks MFGF, think I might have solved it.

Any chance you could share your solution? It might help others who encounter the same or similar issues.

Cheers!

Sure I would be more than happy to.

Source Machine A
- Cognos Powerplay Enterprise Server
- Cognos Series 7

Target Machine B
- Cognos 10.2
- IBM Cognos Powerplay Server

In source machine, MIGRATION COMPONENT has to be installed to the version of target environment.

I was trying to migrate from Series 7 to Cognos 10.2, I installed "Series 7 migration tools" in Series 7 machine. This "tool" has to be selected from the installation process while installing IBM Cognos BI Powerplay. So I had to only select the "migration tools" from the installation of IBM Cognos BI Powerplay in the source machine.

Hope this is clear enough.

Perfect! Thanks for sharing.
