  11. Ensure that none of the reports fail to export. The above error occurs because the User does not exist on the machine. The users should be created manually on target machine
  12. Go to C:\IBM\tivoli\tipv2Components\TCRComponent\cognos\deployment
  13. Copy the file Contentstorebackup.zip and move this file to JazzSM (TCR 3.X) machine in the following location:

      C:\IBM\JazzSM\reporting\cognos\deployment\ Contentstorebackup.zip

  1. Create the same test user in JazzSM WAS console and assign tcrportaloperator role to test user
  2. Open reporting and import the originally exported content store

These steps will complete the migration of the TCR reports from 2.X to 3.X environment.

NOTE: The same instructions can be used to transfer the content store from one 3.X environment to the other or one 2.X environment to the other. The locations described in Step 17 (2.X) and 18 (3.X) will be the same.
