Title: Upgrade from Cognos BI 8.2 -> 8.4.1
Post by: maevr on 03 Jun 2010 03:13:58 AM
* What do I have to do to maintain all users/groups and permissions to the projects/folders and reports prior to the upgrade stadium.?
* What files do I have to backup and insert into the new installation, ex cnrlocale.xml, server.xml, system.xml?
* Can I install the new version on another location on the server and the copy/replace the above listed files in the correct location?

I need a good tutorial or best practices.
