Opening dashboards that were created on Cognos Dashboards Version 4.6 or earlier releases

Cognos Dashboards runs a service that is different from the service that was running on Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.6 or earlier. However, you can migrate each dashboard to run on the current service.

After you upgrade to the current version of Cloud Pak for Data and install the Cognos Dashboards service, open a dashboard to automatically migrate that dashboard to the current service.

Restriction: You must have the Create dashboards permission and either the project Editor role or project Administrator role to migrate dashboards.

If you have errors when migrating dashboards, refer to Troubleshooting for Cognos Dashboards.
