Title: Converting Business Objects 6.5 universes to Cognos 10
Post by: homerjay114 on 29 Mar 2012 01:51:10 PM
We are looking to go from Business Objects 6.5 to Cognos 10.  In researching a possible conversion method, we could use  Framework Manager.   In Framework manager, when creating a package, you can select 3rd party metadata sources and you can select SAP BusinessObjects Designer 6.5 (*.unv).

When doing that you then have to select a whole bunch of fields to select the database respository, user id, password and a bunch of other screens full of information for you conversion into a package.  I feel it will take a while and might be a little bit of school of hard knocks to get it right.

Before I go down this route, I was wondering if anyone has done this?  If so, how succesful were you in converting your old Business Objects 6.5 universes to Cognos packages?

I have not been able to find much documentation outside of the Framework manager manual, so I figured I would ask to see how others made out, before trying . .

Would love to hear from folks on how you have made out and if had any issues.

I thank you all ahead of time for your feedback.
