Hi everybody, Cognos Version is 10.2
After a recovery/restore due to hw server fails we have a problem.
In the IBM content administration we see all the packages we had and the reports works
In the framework we don't have all the project we used to work on.
Is it possible to create a new project importing model data from an already published package?
And you don't have your models in source control (git, svn, etc.)? I use git. Before pushing to my remote repo, I use https://www.html-tidy.org/ (with appropriate command line arguments) to tidy the XML so that diffs are readable. It's probably good (if you're not using them) to exclude your models' .log files from git.
There is a way to get this from the Content Store database, but querying the Content Store directly is not supported.
There may be a way to get this through the Cognos Analytics SDK.
I vaguely remember someone explaining how to export a package from Cognos. I think you get only the elements related to that package -- so, probably not the entire model. I probably saw that on this site, so keep searching.
I'm sure companies like Motio or BSP make products that can help with this.

Hi,
Yes, it's possible to do this, but bear in mind that the model you end up with will only contain what was published in the package.
Take a look at the below tech note for details on how to do this:
