Cognos 10 to Cognos 11 (Analytics) Import/Export MyFolders issue

In Cognos 10 all the packages are directly under Public Folders such as
Public Folders>>Package 1
Public Folders>>Package 2

So when we export a users MyFolders all their reports are using those packages

However, in Cognos Analytics the packages are in a subfolder under Team Content such as
Team Content>>Shared>>Package 1
Team Content>>Shared>>Package

When we import the Users MyFolders reports from above they all are trying to use a package in the old structure, in this case Team Content>>Package1

Is there a way without touching every single report (there are a LOT) that we can get the imported reports in a users MyContent to point to the package at Team Content>>Shared>>Package 1

It looks like Motio PI Profressional Version could do this but looking to see if there is another (aka Free) way.

Thanks

May be you are past this already :)

We ran into this too when we were testing reports during upgrade and moved content in SBX for testing from PROD. The only way around was to:
Cut and paste these packages in the desired path, which is Team Content>>Shared>> in your case.
After that take the export and import in the other environment.
And finally cut and paste the packages to their original location.

You can do that or create a Share folder in 10 copy over the packages then do your export Import.
Or in your 11 move or copy the packages in your Shared folder one directory back that is Directly under Team Content.
