Content Store Restore in Cp4D

[Vineet]

Hello All


Recently I am assigned to do a feasibility check of Cognos on IBM CP4D. Cognos is already installed on Cp4d and instance is working but I need to restore the Content Store from previous version.
Need help on restoring the Content Store deployment archive, I am not sure where to post the file for import job to pick it up.
Content Store is from Cognos 11.1 and we are moving to 12.0.

Thanks
VJ

Hi,

Deployment archives in the CP4D version of Cognos Analytics get stored in the Deployments folder in the Artifacts pod. You would need to get your backup zip transferred to your bastion server (usually via sftp using something like Filezilla), then use the OpenShift copy command (oc cp) to copy it to the correct folder in the Artifacts pod. Once it is there, you should be able to restore it as normal from within the Cognos Analytics UI.

Cheers!
