I recommend doing a database backup of your content store database. Create a new schema and restore the backup to the new one and use it for the cognos8.4.and when you start 8.4 configuration, it will convert the content store to 8.4.
This avoids the need to do the export all / import all process.If you do the db backup / rename process, all your users & security settings & data sources will still exist in the new content store.
If you use export all, be sure to select all the options - data sources, users, passwords, security settings, etc., etc. Unless you do everything, you'll wind up with an installation that won't allow people into things, etc., etc.
In addition, Export All does not copy individual users' My Folders.
Also, you cannot do a partial restore of an Export All.
