Title: Synchronise Cognos Environments (ex/import CS)
Post by: Bognos on 26 Oct 2015 09:26:44 AM
Hi All,

Quick question regarding ex/import of Content store in Cognos 10.2.0

If I create a full export of the Content Store from environment A, and import it to Environment B (Both secured against the same namespace) What will the effect be?

I am hoping to move all folders, reports etc, as well as users, groups, permissions etc etc. Will this overwrite or append what was already on Environment B?

Any guidance greatly appreciated

Thanks

I think if it is full content backup it will overwrite contents.
Coz as far as i can remember importing selected contents only has the options for Conflict resolution.
That is either Keep existing or replace existing entries for directory contents.
