Perhaps you could ask (a) more specific question(s)?   ;D

We experienced a pretty smooth migration , but had some issues with report studio against dimensional packages. As a precaution we ran through all our reports (based on PDF) before and after migration cognos content to 8.4.
Functionally, we see the true benefit in using DMR as a mature solution.
Some elements are deprecated in 8.4, which means you will get warning messages.

With Cognos connection almost completely restructured we now have to switch brains when working with both 8.1 and 8.3/8.4..
