Error during converting reports from Cognos 6.0 to Cognos 7.0

Need more details, ie:  event viewer messages, was the catalog upgraded
first, do you still have a copy of the original 6.0 files, if you open the
report but not retrieve data does it still crash?  I'm trying to determine
if it seems to be more of a corrupted report or simply it crashes when
pulling data.  Putting a dmapifil trace on might reveal what's going /
coming from the database as well (possibly nothing, but worth a look).  Does
there happen to be any consistancy between the reports that crash and the
ones that work (ie:  sub reports, prompts, type-in sql, all against the same
db)?

There used to be a report upgrade utility (not sure if it is still around)
but it actually did the conversion for you and then performed a binary
comparison on the files.  May be worth checking to see if you can get your
hands on this.  Hope this helps.

ya
