Migrating development content to a production BW system
If you have deployed SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration for SAP Solutions in your development
BW environment, you can import your reporting content to the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence
platform system that is configured for use with your production BW environment.
Before importing your content, consider the following:
• BW treats Crystal reports (.rpt files) as native objects. If the Crystal reports are stored in the repository
of your development BW system, you can transport the BW content and then batch publish the
reports to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform. (For details about transporting
content between BW systems, see the SAP Library.) This procedure ensures that the database
information for each report is updated by the BW Report Publisher.
• If you have deleted some or all of the Crystal reports from the repository of your development BW
system, you can use the Upgrade Manager to import the report objects from one SAP BusinessObjects
Enterprise installation to another. When using the Upgrade Manager, be sure to set the correct
database information on each of the report files that you import.
• If the number of report files that you want to migrate is small, you may find it easier to change each
report's database information in the Central Management Console (CMC). (Go to the Objects
management area, locate the report, and click the Database link on its Process tab.)
After you migrate your content, use the Content Administration Workbench to perform maintenance on
your reports. Report maintenance tasks include synchronizing information about reports between SAP
BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform and BW (Update status), deleting unwanted reports
(Delete reports), and updating reports migrated from previous versions of SAP BusinessObjects
Enterprise (Post-migration).
For more information about maintaining you reports, refer to the SAP BusinessObjects Business
Intelligence Platform Administrator Guide .
