For SQL server -- SSIS export/import with text data type should do, for Oracle — a potential UTL_FILE PLSQL dancing around would be required, imho. What database are you using?

It did not work. I guess it's either some specific tool needed for export-import procedure or I missed some parameter.

Do a PAD database backup first! I would stop all Cognos Planning Services (or even all services), export xml to a text file (exact steps depend on database you're using, do a test export / import in a separate test enviroment / VM. UTL_FILE or smth similar for Oracle, basic editing or SSIS should work for MS SQL), edit and import. Test a lot first. Never tried it, but it should be possible, though completely unsupported.

I have a problem with an admin link that for some reason isn't completely deleted from pad.xml (which is somewhat similar to a duplicate problem)... I do know which part of pad.xml to delete, but I'm unsure how to safely import it back to P_PAD table.   Btw, IBM Support and Development were reluctant to send an instructions on this :-( Is there a safe way to import pad.xml into P_PAD table?

In my experience Insight reports tend to be CPU intensive, do you notice 100% spikes? Just adding a windows perfmon trace (memory, cpu) for a couple of days can give you quite a lot info on that.

I can't see the source code in the archive — how do you check cube dependency? Thanks for that.
