Hi,
We currently have Cognos BI 8.2 and would like to migrate to Cognos Express 10.1.0. How do we migrate our current packages created in Framework Manager and reports to Cognos Express? Is LifeCycle Manager usable with Cognos Express?
Any info would help.
Thanks!
Hi there
You can do a deployment export of your FM packages and reports using the normal BI admin console.
You can use Lifecycle manager against Cognos Express if needs be.

Hi Nick,
Thank you for the information. Can the same packages be used with the new version of Framework Manager? How do you import the exported reports into Express?
Thanks!
Hello !.
Any old / existing FM package can be opened inside of Cognos Express (it comes with Framework Manager).
Once you have created / exported your reports etc via the deployment archived in Cognos Administration there should be a deployment archive
file in you v8 deployment folder...copy this file onto your cognos express server and copy this into the same deployment folder for express.
Then run a deployment import via the cognos administration console - you should see the newly copied file to import.
Cheers
Nick
Thank you very much Nick! You have been really helpful.
