Title: Copy Reports between Servers Tool
Post by: Grim on 14 Mar 2012 12:48:34 PM
Description:
This tool is useful when a user would like to copy reports between two IBM Cognos 10 BI servers or two IBM Cognos 8 BI servers without using the IBM Cognos Deployment Manager or IBM Cognos ReportNet to IBM Cognos 8 BI Version 8.3.

It uses SDK so SDK licence is required ? You can copy and paste the report XML from one server to another but this utility also migrates the packages so that's an advantage specially for those whose change management is controlled by another team and they have friction with them  ;)

If you copy/paste XML to replace an existing report you can break drill through links and report views. I wonder if this utility avoids that issue?
