How do you convert Logical System Names of BW systems in BO

Question

Hi,
We have implemented SSO where user/role administration takes place in BW, and then imported into BO where authorization to folders and reports are maintained. 
What we are NOT yet able to figure out is how to move our BO groups (i.e. those groups that were automatically created from BW roles) and have them automatically mapped to the roles in the next environment. 
Below is the scenario:
BW Dev Environment
System XXD
Client   100
Role     ZHR
BO Dev Environment
BW role ZHR has been imported and group XXD100@ZHR is automatically created. Also, we have granted group XXD100@ZHR access to different folders, reports and universes in this environment.
BW Test Environment
System XXT
Client   200
Role     ZHR has been transported from Dev
BO Test Environment
We are not quite sure how to import XXD100@ZHR from our BO dev enviroment and have the group automatically changed to XXF200@ZHR with the access to the different folders, reports and universes retained. Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Olu

>>>you actually do NOT want to have those roles imported because the role from you first system doesn't exist in the second system.
You first system is pointing to system XXD with Client 100 and the second system is pointing to system XXF and client 200 - very different systems.
the roles have to be imported as part of the overall SAP authentication configuration. In case this is about having a possible identical folder and security structure I would suggest you use also groups in the BusinessObjects system - standard BusinessObjects groups - use those to assign security and then assign the SAP groups as subgroups. In that way you keep the security configuration and only assign the right subgroups.
