Upcoming Cognos Downtime and Upgrade

Upcoming Cognos Downtime and Upgrade

Cognos will be unavailable starting Friday, August 15 at 5 p.m. through Saturday, August 16 as we upgrade from Cognos 11 to Cognos 12.

What to Expect After the Upgrade?

Saved Reports Must be Transferred or Recreated

Reports saved in Cognos 11 will not automatically transfer to Cognos 12; however, the reports team can transfer your saved reports to Cognos 12 for you. 

Follow these steps to request a transfer:

1. Log into Cognos 12. (This must be done before completing step 2.)
2. Submit a Help Desk ticket requesting the transfer of your reports from Cognos 11 to Cognos 12.
