Hands-on work
Description of the Lab Sessions
2 Technical Preparation for Migration
- Analysis of the existing environment: audit of the content store, compile a list of Framework Manager data models, compile a list of v11 portal objects to be migrated…
- Dependency Check: Gateway/Dispatcher, Reverse Proxy, SSO (SAML, Kerberos, LDAP, OpenID Connect)
- Preparing the Migration Plan: Parallel vs. In-Place, Rollback Strategy, Content Store and Configuration Backups
- Set up a Cognos 12 test environment specifically for the migration that is identical to the production environment
- Content migration: import/export via Content Manager, analysis of issue reports with Upgrade Manager, management of jobs, agents, and custom portals
- Post-migration verification: logs, load testing and scalability testing, validation of data connections
- Test Report: Checklist of Migrated Components
Hands-on work
Prepare for the technical migration by developing a detailed migration plan and verifying dependencies. Set up a Cognos 12 test environment and verify the migrated components.
3 Technical Workshop, Full Migration, Version 12 Acceptance Testing Phase
- Quick Installation of a Cognos 12 Server
- Restoring a Cognos 11 Content Store
- Configuration Migration (resolving common issues: certificate problems, incompatible legacy reports, post-migration verification, etc.)
- Automated functional and technical tests performed in a logical order: packages, data modules, then reports, dashboards, stories, and cubes
- Report Migration Test Report: Dashboards, Stories, Datasets
Hands-on work
Install a Cognos 12 server, restore a Cognos 11 content store. Migrate and test.
4 Optimization, Post-Migration Stabilization, and Recommendations
- Performance Optimization: Dispatcher Tuning, Cache Settings, Content Store Optimization
- Security: SSL/TLS certificate management, advanced SSO configuration, access governance, and auditing
- Monitoring and maintenance: audit logging, integration with external tools (Splunk, Grafana, SIEM), ongoing maintenance plan
- Final Migration Checklist
- Best Practices for Multi-Tier Environments
- Key Issues to Monitor in the Weeks Following the Migration
Hands-on work
Optimize and secure all post-migration components.
