After you upgrade to IBM® Rational® Insight version
1.0.0.1, you must restore your backups and customized artifacts from
the previous version.
Before you begin
Before you begin to restore the backed up data, keep at hand
the data you noted down when you created the backups; for example,
the custom settings of your IBM Cognos® Connection.
About this task
You must restore the custom settings made to the IBM Cognos connection,
XML data configuration files, Rational Insight skin, and,
if you are using Rational Insight
Data Services,
the servlet parameter settings for the data service. You also need
to restore the changes you made to the metadata of your Framework
Manager projects and the extract, transform, and load (ETL) catalog.
To
restore each customization:
- Restore the custom settings made to the IBM Cognos connection.
- Start the Cognos Configuration
tool (click ).
- Change the settings back to your custom settings, especially
the information in .
- Close the Cognos Configuration
tool.
- Restore the custom settings for XML data configuration
files.
- Copy the backup files from the rational_insight_installation_directory\dataconfig\configs\ directory
to the directory that is used most frequently for storing your XML
data configuration files.
- Start XML Data Configuration.
- Import the data configuration files for version 1.0.0.1.
When prompted, select the option to merge elements with the same identifiers.
- Restore the custom settings made to the Rational Insight skin.
Copy the contents of the following backed up directories
to the
Rational Insight installation
directory:
- temporary_location\cognos\templates\
- temporary_location\cognos\webapps\p2pd\
- temporary_location\webcontent\
- Restore the servlet parameter settings for Rational Insight
Data Services.
Remember: This step is needed only if you are using Rational Insight
Data Services.
- Open the WebSphere® Administrative
Console (http://localhost:9060/ibm/console).
- In the navigator, expand the Applications node
and click .
- Set the parameter values to your custom settings.
- Restore the changes to the extract, transform, and load
(ETL) catalog.
- Create a new ETL catalog and restore the ETL catalog
that is shipped with the new version. See the related links at the
bottom of this page.
- Start Cognos Data
Manager and open the new catalog.
- Select the jobs and builds that you want to incorporate
into your catalog and export as a package.
Tip: If
you want to only merge the new versions of the existing builds into
your ETL catalog, export as a package the job that has Update appended
to its name.
- Open your existing catalog and import the package that
you created in step a. You can replace the existing job and builds
or import them with a new name.
Tip: If you
want to only merge the new versions of the existing builds into your
own ETL catalog, import into your ETL catalog the package that you
created with the job that has Update appended to
its name.
