Upgrading databases

To migrate from WebSphere Business Monitor V7.0.0.5, you must stop the source environment and upgrade the existing MONITOR database schema. If you did not have a IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence content store database, you must create the database that IBM Cognos BI uses for the content store. You must also update the MONITOR database data.
