hi, there are two ways to change date format in cognos....
1) In Query Studio right click on Date key and select the Data format ... Select Format type = "Date" In Right Side u will get different formats of date.. there u can select the Format type and click ok and then run the report
2) In Report Studio, right click on Date key and select Format type is "Date" and right side, display the properties... in Properties select the Date Ordering.. in drop down u will get date formats, select and click ok.. now run the report

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!
