Hi Craig,

i m not sure about the answer to this question, but once i had made a notification store database which would only store the details for the schedules. one solution could be migrating the notification store database from dev to production.

Would request the experts to guide if i am right.

While doing the export of any folder an option will come to include data sources which will include all data sources from your env, and same can be deployed to other env.

Similarly there is an option like "include schedules" I am not sure if this will behave same as data source option. Never tried this. Currently i dont have any training env available to do this, if you have you can just try what this option will do.

Please do not try it in you dev,test or prod env. Try it only if you have some lab/training env available.

Hi,

If you are selecting content (ie folders/reports etc) to be exported in your deployment, there is an option to also include any associated schedule information for the selected content when you define the export. If you're not selecting content, you can't export schedule information, though. So I guess the answer is no - you can't export *only* schedules, but yes - you can export corresponding schedules along with any selected reports etc you are exporting.

Cheers!

How to import the schedule in disabled status? or is it possible?

As MFGF stated, it comes across with the content that is scheduled, but...

Do you know you are responding to a 10-year-old thread?  Are you still using Cognos 8?

[khanna100]

Yes, I do know that. The import/export method has not changed in 10 years though.

When you are importing a selective backup, the import wizard has an option you can check "Disable after import", which prevents the entries and their contents from being available for access by users until the administrator has tested them and manually made them available. My guess is that the schedules would also be disabled, but I have no way of checking at the moment - I don't have access to a Cognos instance.

Cheers!

Did you know that the import/export method has not changed since Report Net came out in 2003!!

I remember first seeing it in pre-release builds of ReportNet around 2001-2002. The product was codenamed CR1 at that point :-)

There is an updated UI for backups and restores in the Manage part of the CA Glass UI, but currently it only does full exports/imports. I imagine in the fullness of time, IBM will extend it to provide the same capabilities as the Admin Console. It is in their roadmap to retire the Admin Console at some point.
