Here is our current setup. PPES 7.3 with Cubes and Reports accessible through Upfront (security setup in Access Manager)
We want to turn off Upfront and have all the cubes and reports exist in Cognos Connection. In the New features release of PPES page 45. There is the following command to move powerplay items from Upfront to Cognos Reportnet.
ppserver -tocrn -un username -pw password -replace
I run the command
and get the following error in the log
Migrating report: /Imported Reports/Published Cubes/AR Information/1686_2ea6932

I have myself with full access to the Public folder in Cognos Connection.
Any suggestion on migrating 25 cubes with 275 reports from Upfront to Cognos connection
Do you have S7 security in ReportNet? Are the servers fully qualified?
The trick was to have the Everyone group have full access to the Public Folder. The name of the folder that exist in PPES ( where the cubes and reports that will be published ) needs to exist in the Public folders. Once these are set correctly, the command line works.
Thanks for sharing.
