Migrating from Cognos 8 to Cognos 10

[bepanda]

Previous owner created packages on older version of Framework Manager 8.4, published and ran reports on Cognos 8.4.
Nothing was saved in Framework Manager project and the previous owner has left the company.
I was tasked to generate those reports on Cognos 10. I would like to re-use what he already did, instead of starting from scratch.
How can I export the Packages from one Server to the Next? Is it even possible?

Sure, launch Cognos Administration from Cognos Connection.
Click the Configuration tab, then click Content Administration.
Click the New Export icon to create an export task. You can select the items/packages you want to export. The zip-file containing the export will be in the deployment folder of the Cognos application folder on the server.

Copy the zip-file to the deployment folder of the new server, then create an import task (Cognos Administration) to import the packages.
