Converting the data sources over to FM can be the toughest part.  To convert the model just open the C7 MDL file in C10 Transformer and replace the old IQD data sources with the new FM data sources and check that the properties match on the data, dimensions and measures.  Like any upgrade there are plenty of issues, but most have likely been answered in the forums.

If you are only interested in the conversion of cubes then you can look at this FrameWork Manager user manual:

There is plenty of other information in the other sections if you need to research other administrative tasks.
