coversions of BO universes to cognos catalogs

[COGBO]

Hi,
I am about to join a project that is based on configuring BO universes to cognos catalogs. While I am basically a BO guy, I do have a working knowledge of Cognos too.The client seems to have had enough of BO and wants to switch to Cognos.

My question is:Can anybody who has worked on such a transition and configuration tell me how does it take place?

I can only guess a crude form where the catalog designer looks the BO universe and the classes, objects and joins present in it and creates the same classes and joins in the catalog.
Or is there a way in which these two can talk to each other and just exchange the classes, objects and joins between each other?

Thanks in advance
Cogbo

Good luck. You're really asking on the wrong board. What you need to do is find out if Cognos can read a BO universe.

Thanks Steve. How about the other way round?
Can BO read Cognos Catalogs? This is equally important. Kindly reply ASAP

I'm always glad to help someone get data out of cognos onto BO.

There used to be a utiltity floating around out there. But it's likely not going to work with current Cognos versions. I'll see what I can find out.
