There are a couple of ways to achieve this:

1. Back up your ReportNet content store, then point Cognos 8 at the ReportNet content store database. Cognos 8 will upgrade the content store for you (but you will lose the ability to use the content store in ReportNet).

2. Create a separate content store database for Cognos 8, then in ReportNet, go to Tools/Deployment and create an export of the entire ReportNet content store. Move the deployment archive (zip file) to the Cognos 8 server, and in Cognos 8 go to Tools/Content Administration and import the deployment. As the import runs, it will upgrade the ReportNet content from the deployment.

Best regards,

MF.
