Aren't the xml defintions stored in a fashion in the content store? They are certainly not stored as individual files on the server as .xml definitions AFAIK

RP

Thanks for your reply, so how can I move my reports (which file) to my prod server....

That is a standard Cognos task. You can create a export job for this.

Our typical steps:

1.Use a special folder in the root (highest level in connection)
2. Copy reports to this folder.
3.Create an export job on the folder.
4. Run the export once.
5. Take the resulting .zip file from the deployment folder in the Cognos installation tree
6. Copy the zip file to the other server / installation.
7.Create import job in the other Cognos environment
8. Run import job
9. Distribute reports to the required folders

Packages cannot be copied to a folder. Migrating them requires a job per package..
