Gathering Files to Migrate

Use this procedure to gather your files to migrate.

To gather files to migrate:

  1. Log on to your Cognos server and browse to the path {cognos install location}\deployment.

    Here you will find a zip file that matches the name of the export you just ran. This is the first item that you need to send to Deltek.

  2. In addition to the deployment file, you need to zip and send Deltek all of your framework models.

    You must submit the Framework models that were used to create your CBI report packages. This will ensure the Deltek Cloud Ops team can update and republish your CBI report packages without the DELTEK schema name. The CBI report packages in the Deltek Cloud environment do not contain a schema name.

    Only send the current models unless you really need access to archived versions. The files are typically stored in a Deltek folder on your Cognos server, either in the install directory or in the root of your C or D drive.

    However, if you are unsure of the location, open Framework Manager and look at the recently used files list. Bear in mind that, although the files were recently used, it does not necessarily mean that the files are actually in your current production models.

    Send the entire folder where the files are found, not just the model files, as there are other supporting files in those directories that are needed.

    Warning: Sending the wrong models results in loss of customizations. Odds are, before your content will work in the cloud, all your packages will need to be republished with references to the “Deltek” schema removed. If the models you send are not current, this republish will override your customizations.
