Need help in Step by Step process of Deployig Development to production.

[madhancog]

Hi Gurus,
  Can any one tell me how can i deploy the cognos 8.4
My scenerio
   We have developed Cognos content store in SQL server and we have 80 reports in Reports studio and the database for this report is Oracle 9i and its is dummy database.
   Now the customer is looking for us to migrate the report and FM model to production environment that is an oracle database and different server and that has production data.
    So can any one give the step by step procedure to carry on this work successfully..


Thanks in advance,
K.M

There are several ways in which you can do it. But do you want to migrate the package&reports alone or you want to migrate the content store?

Step by step details can be found in the deployment guide. If you have any questions or issues, that would be a more practical question for this forum.

Tip**
If you plan to migrate packages (and reports along with it), then ensure that your datasource name is the same. You can change the connection parameters later. But the name in FM should be used in Prod as well. If you have already used a 'silly' name for your datasource, you can go back to FM and change the 'Content Manager Datasource' name (in FM Properties).
