Hi folks,
Version: 10.2.1 Cognos Admin

I successfully create a Deployment ZIP file using the Export option of the IBM Cognos Administration. After I'm done with this deployment, when I try using the Import to deploy this file (for testing purposes) to the same exact server, only the Packages that under a Package folder shows and the Reports are not showing.

Could you let me know if you have any suggestions. ;D

What options did you select when exporting the package?

selected the option "Public folders, directory and library content" and used the Add to add the Folder to the dialogue box. I didn't select any of the Options under the Options: and Continued. When I select Add, I can navigate to the Folder Under Public Folder. See attached:

Thank you

Looks like you simply need to select both folders and move them to the right when importing?
Meep!

Now that would be easier. When I select the package folder, I see all the packages before dragging to right. When I select the Reports folder, I don't see anything us following:  nderneath at all. The reason I became suspecious is since I tried Importing this Deployment ZIP file and it come up with the error saying no entries found in the deployment ..

Thx
