Hello, I have seen a few posts regarding requests on how to generate deployment packages.
You can review the Admin and Security guide for more info but the quick steps are:
- Cognos Connection
- Tools/Content Administration
- Create new export
- select content store items (reports, permissions, etc..)
- Execute
- This create a .zip file in your C8 install path (defined in Cognos Configuration)
- You would then import this package in your PROD environment.
You will also want to review some of the specific settings such as:
* do i want to execute this task now, or schedule it?
* am i capturing all of the required information? security permissions?
* should i select all content store items as a back up of my environment?
* what items should i unit test when i import my package?
* should i set the folder location of the .zip to be a shared folder and accessible by other team members?
