Structures

This section describes how to export and import a file to IBM® Cognos Controller, which contains structures. You may send the created file to another Cognos Controller system or save it as a backup copy of your own structures.

When you install Cognos Controller in sub-groups and reporting companies, the databases are empty. To be able to use the system, the parent group has to distribute the common structures.

Requirements

The structures you want to import must have been exported from your current version of Cognos Controller. You cannot import structures from earlier versions.

When you export structures, you can choose whether to export the file to a library or e-mail. When you import structures, you can only import from a library where the file has been saved to or exported to.
