We have two Cognos clients that are merging and want to copy some (or maybe all) of their reports from Cognos1 to Cognos2. Any idea on how to do this without having to manually get each report definition from Cognos1 and then paste into Cognos2 and Save? Cognos1 has maybe 300 reports. There are a lot of questions still unanswered from the clients. But just getting some ideas about what might work most efficiently to see if it is even an option.

Hi Brenda,

Just use the partial deployment option, deploying only selected public folders and directory content.
