convert to 8.3

[ejaycognos]

we are asked to convert the IWR reports to cognos 8.3 , we have to re-write them ,instead of using migration tools we are asked to re-create in cognos 8.3 , we have to do catalog conversions to Fm , do we need to follow a specific style to do this conversion ..what are the stratergies to convert it successfully , how do we validate it ..etc any views on it will be great
thanks

for my personal suggest , you should re-create reports in cognos 8 will be better
