How to roll back to a previous version of Cognos Analytics

How To


Summary

Downgrade/roll back an install of Cognos Analytics is possible if a backup of the Content Store was made prior to an upgrade (in-place or separate location).

For example, if an upgrade from 11.0.13 to 11.1.7 was done in-place, then a downgrade/roll back is possible by installing 11.0.13 in a separate location and pointing to the 11.0.13 content store backup which was done prior to the upgrade.

Backup of content store can be made through a deployment or at the database level -- https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/what-difference-between-exporting-content-store-cognos-connection-and-doing-database-backup-content-store
