Title: Upgrading to Cognos 11 from 8.4
Post by: antexity on 05 Dec 2017 11:29:35 AM
Checking to see if any of you upgraded to 11 from 8.4


-How many reports and schedules did you have?
-How much rework was required?  Did the rework pertain to certain type of reports?
-How long did the upgrade take and how many resources?
-Any other tips you can provide?
-Any documentation and/or project plans you are willing to share?

Thank you so much, I appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Cant help to much on that one. I would recommend having a test server and testing the upgrade on that. The biggest issue you will come up against is reconfiguring IIS.

IBM just put this out

There are also heaps of other posts on here about IIS and SSO if you are using SSO.
