About the export package

You must create reporting export packages for each Oracle InForm study being migrated to this Oracle InForm release while your current Oracle InForm and Cognos environments are still active. The export packages contain:

A study folder
An operational package (<trialname> InForm Trial Management)
A clinical package (<trialname> Clinical) from the Cognos Public Folders

You will import these packages into the Cognos Analytics 11 Reporting environment after you install this Oracle InForm software release and the Cognos Analytics 11 Reporting software.

Because the current Cognos environment remains intact until the Cognos Analytics 11 Reporting environment is active, there is no need to back up any files on the Cognos server except for the export packages.

Note:

Because the current Cognos environment may remain intact while the Cognos Analytics 11 Reporting environment is being tested, it is good practice to remove or disable scheduled reports in the current environment prior to the migration.
