Persona IQ - Seamless Cognos Security Migration

The Problem

Do you need to transition your Cognos environment from one authentication source to another? Did you realize that this can wreak havoc with your existing Cognos content and configuration? Migrating Cognos between authentication sources can result in misconfigured security, orphaned or lost My Folders content, schedules which can no longer run, email deliveries which no longer happen, and many other problems (see the video below).
