Using the Cognos Restore utility

OPCCRestore is the IBM OpenPages® Cognos® utility that restores the necessary Cognos files on the server from which it was originally run. The OPCCRestore utility uses a backup file created by the OPCCBackup utility.
Important: Before you run the OPCCRestore utility, you must restore the IBM® Db2® reporting database.

To back up or restore the IBM Db2 databases for IBM OpenPages, you must use the utilities that are provided with Db2. For more information about the databases in IBM OpenPages and backing up or restoring them, see Database backup and restore for OpenPages (Db2).

As part of the OPCCRestore restoration process, the following Cognos resources are restored:
  • Cognos reports
  • Branding and environment files
