We maintain a test and a production environment for Cognos. After completing a report enhancement then we migrate the report to production using Content Manager Export and Import. In the past (Cognos 8.4) we would simply overwrite the older report with the new report using copy and paste. Now in cognos 10.2 when I do this all the Report Views break. On some of my reports I manage literally hundreds of report views. Any ideas on how I an update a report definition without breaking the report views short of editing the report with report studio?
Functionality was changed in V10.
Steps:
1. Edit the <IBM Cognos Install Location>/templates/ps/system.xml
2. Add <param name="updateTargetObjectWhenOverwrite">true</param>
