APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The cx_backup.bat file has comments within it that are
    misleading.     The script shows "This script will restore the
    Cognos Express content store from the given backup file" which
    is identical of the cx_restore.bat file.     It should be noted
    that the script is only used for backup and the comment should
    indicate so.
    

Local fix

  • Edit the comment in the script.     The script is no longer used
     in Cognos Express 9.5 which provides a new Backup and Restore p
    rocedure.
