Title: Migration from 7.3 to 8.4
Post by: Tony on 13 Apr 2010 01:25:09 PM
Hi all,
Does any one has upgrade cognos 7.3 to 8.4? If so please let me know your step by step instruction. I have no idea how to migrate this task. I am using powerplay and cubes in 7.3.
Thanks

Tony, unfortunately you will need to upgrade to 7.4 before migrating to Cognos 8.4.  Then there are utilities to facilitate the migration.

Feel free to contact me and we can arrange some time to discuss.
