In several instances many TCR users upgrade from 2.X to 3.X release. The one thing that is useful in such scenarios is to migrate the content store. I will highlight these steps with screenshots in the following post:

 

  1. Login to the reporting portal, ensure the report is part of My Folders for test users

  14. The next screen shows the status of the run. It is important to ensure there are no failure messages. In the case highlighted, the documented message means user information cannot be exported and will need to be manually created on the target machine

  15. Navigate to the C:\IBM\tivoli\tipv2Components\TCRComponent\cognos\deployment. Copy the Contentstorebackup.zip file and move it to new machine where TCR 3.X (Jazz for Service Management - JazzSM) is installed
  16. The default JazzSM location where the file needs to be moved is: C:\IBM\JazzSM\reporting\cognos\deployment\ Contentstorebackup.zip
  17. Create the same test user in the JazzSM WAS console. Assign the tcrportaloperator role to the test user
  18. Open reporting and choose the import option. Select the exported Content store

  25. Select Refresh if the data does not appear
  26. Click OK when import finishes
  27. Login as test user and check reports under My Folders
