Answer Posted / shreyas

Without Importing the table into Model just change the sql
of the Table.
For Example: Initial in model the database layer Query
Subject contains as Select * From [Datasource Name].
OLDTableName
Replace with
Select * From [Datasource Name]. NeWTableName
and publish.

This is one of the method.

Second Method:

In report studio Create a sql Query and point the report to
samequery. (this is simple without importing and publishing
the pakage)

Hi, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
