'Import file parsing exception' while importing BIAR file

Question

Hi All,
We use Java WebServices SDK for integrating our product with Business Objects. For installing the reports we use the InstallEntSDKWrapper jar to copy the BIAR file containing the reports on to the BO server. Till now we were using BO XI R2 and everything works fine.
But now we have decided to upgrade to BO 3.0 and the reports install no longer works. Here is the error that we get -
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] Connecting to CMS rwc-1950-120:6400 as administrator
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.CmsImportFile] Exception: Import file parsing exception
curred : 'Type info incomplete'
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] BIAR File could not be imported
Any idea what might be going wrong here? We are trying to import the same BIAR file that were created with the earlier BO version to the 3.0 version server. Couple of questions that I have is -
1. Do we need to repackage the BIAR with 3.0 before attempting to install it? Are there any issues with trying to install a BIAR which is of older BO version?
2. Do we need to add/modify any library (jar) in the runtime to get rid of the exception?
Thanks for all the help.
Regards
Manas
