the same version of IBM Cognos software and Framework
Manager.</span>
 </div>
<p class="p">If you have Software Development Kit applications that rely on
a previous version of the report specifications, you cannot use Framework
Manager to publish your model without losing backward compatibility.</p>
<p class="p">For more information about upgrading IBM Cognos software
and Framework Manager, see the Installation and Configuration Guide
for your IBM Cognos product. </p>
<p class="p">For information about changes that may affect the product during
or after an upgrade, see the release notes and the topics about upgrading
in the Software Development Kit developer documentation.</p>
<p class="p"> IBM Cognos software automatically upgrades the
content store.</p>
<p class="p">  </p>
<div class="section" id="UpgradingtheSDKSoftware__Upgrade_Considerations"> <p class="p">If you upgrade from ReportNet, you must make some
changes to your Software Development Kit program for it to function
with the IBM Cognos software version of the WSDL file.
Some methods, classes, and properties have been deprecated in IBM Cognos software. Deprecated features continue to function as
before, but will be removed in future releases. Some other methods,
classes, and properties are obsolete, and have been removed from the IBM Cognos Software Development Kit.</p>
 <p class="p">The XLS and singleXLS
output formats are deprecated in this release. Reports that use these
formats can be viewed, for backwards compatibility. During upgrade
or deployment, some properties where outputFormatEnum can be specified
are checked for either of these values and automatically changed to
XLWA.</p>
 <p class="p">For information about changes to methods, classes, properties,
and enumeration sets, see the new features appendixes in the <cite class="cite">IBM Cognos Software Development Kit Developer
Guide.</cite> </p>
  <p class="p">New
report specifications have been added in IBM Cognos software.
If you run a report that was created in ReportNet or in a previous version of IBM Cognos software, it is automatically upgraded to the new IBM Cognos software format. After a report is upgraded to the new
format, it cannot be returned to the ReportNet or older IBM Cognos software format. Because of the potential for users to upgrade report
specifications that Software Development Kit applications may depend
on, set access permissions on those reports to limit user access.
For more information about setting access permissions, see the <cite class="cite">IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Administration
and Security Guide.</cite></p>
 <p class="p">If you have Software Development
Kit applications that create, modify, or save report specifications,
do not upgrade your report specifications when you install the new
version of IBM Cognos software. You must first update your
Software Development Kit applications to comply with the IBM Cognos software report specifications schema. Otherwise, your Software
Development Kit applications may not be able to access the upgraded
report specifications. For information about upgrading report specifications,
see the <cite class="cite">IBM Cognos Software Development Kit Developer
Guide.</cite></p>
 <p class="p">Do not upgrade your report specifications if
you are unsure about whether you have Software Development Kit applications
that create, modify, or save report specifications. Contact your Software
Development Kit administrator for more information about your Software
Development Kit applications.</p>
