Migrate Webi Report / Universe from Dev to production

Hello,
there are lot of possibilities to migrate a Webi report or a universe from Development server to Production server. my question for the experts is what is best practice scenario to do that. What should i take in consideration.
if i rename my Production universe, place it in an other Path and base my migration on the option "compare name and Path" of the universes. would it migrate ? What about the Connection ?
My Target when migrating Universes. Is only to migrate the universe without connections
But when migrating Webi Reports is to migrate only the reports without universes or connections. But at the same time be sure that the Report is adressed to the right universe in the Destination System.
Is that realistic .. Thanx ..

Prerequest:
You should have Remote access to both the server the BO is installed
Approach1:
Login to source server
create a folder with the name temp.biar in the desktop of server 1
Go to import wizard of server 1
select server 1 as source and temp.biar file as a destination and import all that required to biar file
from server 1 connect to server 2 and place this biar file in some shared folder
connect to server2
open the shared folder and copy that biar file and place it in the desktop of server2
Go to import wizard of server 2
select the temp.biar file from desktop of server 2 and destination as server 2
and complete the process
Note: as we are doing this in remote, there will be lot of issues while connection to path which sometimes even the erro r message will mislead us....
Approach2:
dont create any biar file
Login to server 2
Go to import wizard
select server 1 as source and server 2 as destination and move directly from server to server
Approach2 is not preffered if server 2 is production serve....
this may help
Thanks,

Moving Universe from Development to Production

Hello Gurus,
I am working in XI R3.1.
I have modified an existing universe in designer. what are the things that I have to take care of before i export it to Production. In our company not using Import Wizard to move the universe from dev to production. we are moving the .unv files and reports to production using the manual method. i.e save the .unv file in a shared network and open it in production and save the universe.
Below are the steps that I am following. Please let me know If I am wrong.
1. Imported and modified the universe according to the requirements.
2. checked the integrity check and cardinality. there were no errors.
3. saved the universe and checked the radio button "Save for all users"
4. changed the connection to SHARED connection.
5. exported the universe to repository.
copied the .unv file from the USERDOCS where all the .unv files are stored to a shared network
6. opened the .unv file in production environment. changed the connection to secured and saved the universe and checked the radio button "Save for all users."
7. Imported the universe to production repository.
Am I following the correct steps. Please shed some light.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hello Naveen,
did you also look at the LifeCycle Manager tool that is available for download to help you to move objects from Dev to QA to PROD ?

Moving site page from Dev to production - DVWP from SQL server datasource

Hey everyone
I have seen a lot of resources online about something similar to my issue but nothing came to concrete help (content is old or not quite relevant) so I appreciate some help.
situation
- used SP designer 2013 to develop webpart site page
- Defined datasource to SQl server database connection
- Inserted dataview to the page based on SQL datasource
Now I want to move the page from dev to prod. I created the datasources on prod same as DEV
When I took the code of the pages on DEV and used on PRod , I had this error
Web Part Error: An error has occurred. Correlation ID: 9baf979c-1607-3081-07b4-a7577a8956bd.
Searching showed that this is expected because the webpart config is stored in content database and some Guids are involved here. I read somewhere that I can change the guid to name for DataFormWebPart but that keyword doesn't even exist in the
code (must be for legacy version)
So , how can , easily, move sitepage between sites on different servers? I do not want to redevelop things from scratch.
Thanks

Hi Aloha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move the site page from Dev to production.
How did you move the page?
If the page only contains the data view web part, then I recommend to export the web part from the page and then move the exported file to production.
After that, add the web part in the new page in production.

Hi Celvin,
Thanks for the reply. Could you please let me know how to perform the LCM migration for HFR.
I am having some issues with my HFR server and so I cannot open the reports. So I am thinking if I can use LCM and export and migrate the reports to another server.
The steps I am performing to do this:
Login to HSS > Application group> Reporting and Analysis> Repository objects> report folder name> select reports> Hit on Export
Now in the exported folder I see three things:
RnA-Reporting and Analysis (Its a folder)
Export.xml
Import.xml
Now under RnA-Reporting and Analysis folder I see sub folders
resource\Repository Objects\Under this folder, I see for every report there is one .xml file and 5 other files for the same report.
Can anyone tell me how to import these reports back into the new environment?
Thanks,

Migrating Webi Reports from one to other Server

Hi
i have created a Webi Report in one local Server and i want to export the report to another server which is not a cluster of this local server,(like i want to do report in local and export in Client places)
when i copy the Webi Document (.WID) to the other server, i am not able to view the report,
I am getting an errro message
(The document has been locked by the user 'Administrator' on the following cluster : '@servername:portnumber'. You cannot open this document on the current cluster. To open the document, log on the correct cluster as the correct user and save the document unsecured. If the cluster is not reachable, try to connect to the following system :@servername:portnumber ''. If this system is not reachable or not online, try the previous offline session with the connection ''. (WIS 30912)
is there any other way to implement this ?

Couple of qns:
>> Are you accessing BO server machine to dev WebI??
>> Developed WebI reports are you exporting to Server(as you are Client)??
If both are different servers: You have to Use IMPORt WIZARD.
Source is your CMS server &
Destination : User's CMS Server

4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.
Rgds,
Luther

VC Reports transport from Development to Production

Hi all,
     How do we transport the VC Reports from Development to Production.
     How to transport the model.
     Do we need to create new System Object.
     please help me. Are there any standard document available.
Thanks & Regards,
kishore.

Hi
After importing the model as Dharmi explained, you might need to change the systems' names in the model to fit the production landscape. For example, if a backend system has an alias AAA in Dev and same system has alias BBB in prod. To do this, simply choose Tools > Manage services...
If the landscapes are compatible, you can transport only the working iView using the portal transport capabilities. Navigate to System Configuration > Transport in the Dev portal, find your iView and add it to a transport package.
Hope this helps,
Shay

WebI reports - Universe(source) change

Post Author: Use_BO
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
hi,
I have a question regarding webI reports.
If there are 2 universes of absolute same structure and objects, can the WebI reports built on one universe accessed from the other.
Is there any way we can change the source universe of a report. Or you have to build the WebI reports from scratch for the new universe
Please help me with this question. This is very urgent.
Thanks.

Post Author: DebT
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Yes, you can change the universe used in WebI reports (assuming you are using XI R2 - don't know about prior versions)1. Open you WebI report2. Go to Edit Query3. Click on the Properties tab4. Under the Universe section, click the ... button to the right of the current Universe name.5. A list of your universes will appear, find the new universe in the list and click OK6. The Change Source dialog box will appear, it will automatically map fields of the same name. If your names don't exactly match, you can manually map them.7. Once you are have verified the field mapping, click OK8. Your report is now pointed to the new universe!Hope that helps!

Use the migration wizard and set it to merge, the deltas should be added ok and anything that exists in both systems should get a number added at the end.

Best practices for deployment from Dev /Staging /Production in SharePoint ?

Hi All,
What is a best practices to deploy SharePoint Portal to dev / staging / Production.
I have custom solution deployed using WSP file. But I have done some changes using sharepoint designer.
Like as Designer workflow, master pages etc.
How can I deploy my document libraries and list to dev to prod using best practices?
Thanks
Balaji More

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know the best practices to deploy SharePoint Portal in different SharePoint environment.
If the site is not existing in the production server, we can save the site from the development server, and then import it to the production server.
But if the site is already existing in the production server, we should follow these steps to just add the taxonomy and content types to the production server:
Save the site from Dev as a template
Import the template as solution in Visual Studio
Remove unnecessary items from the solution(Please pay more attention on it. If a content type/list... in the solution is existing in the production site too, it will replace the
same object existing in the production after deployment)
Package the solution
Deploy the solution in the production
For more detailed, please see:

Language of a Webi Report called from OpenDocument

Hi all,
We're trying to set a fixed language when calling Webi Reports from Opendocument.
Right now it's using the language of the user's preffered viewwing setting under Infoview properties.
Does anyone know how to change opendocument.jsp in order to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alden,
Refer to page (66/82) of
[Viewing Reports and Documents using URLs|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf] guide.
One of the opendoc parameters you pass should be "sInstance" and your URL should look something like
http //<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?<parameter1>&<parameter2>&...&sInstance=(either Last/User/Param)
Thanks,

Transport sequence from dev to production

Dear Folks,
I am done with development & i would like to transport all the developed objects to production.
Could anyone provide the sequence along with necessary steps.
How to assign new requests to all the objects developed including queries.
Basically these are the list of objects:
Info objects,info area, info object catalogs,dtps, transformations, multi provider, info package, replicated data sources,queries etc.
I would like to assign once again new requests to all the objects developed and transport them.
Awaiting kind response.
Thanks,
Kitu

a. Info Cubes
b. Multi Providers
c. Info Sets

j. Routines & BW Formulas used in the Transfer routines
k. Extract Structures
l. (Note) If the transfer structures and related objects are being transferred without preceding

Objects as well.
4. Update Rules u2013
a. Update rules
b. Routines and formulas used in Update rules

Problems Transporting SAPQUERY INFOSET (Global) From DEV to Production

I made modifications to an INFOSET using SQ01. I trapped the modifications in a transport. The modifications transported successfully to our Quality Assurance (Q/A) environment. When we move the transport to our Pre-Production environment the transport logs state it migratwed successfully, but the modifications are not present. Pre-Prod security mirrors our production environment, therefore I'm unable to "adjust" the infoset or generate it. That constitutes making changes which I'm not allowd to do in production.
Is there an established method to transport a global infoset from a test environment to production?

You can set the object changability flags to allow you to make mods to either of three major components of process chains:
1. Process chain - lets you change the chain
2. Process starter - lets you change the start process
3. Process variant - lets you change process variants
Go to the admin workbench and select transport. Find the changability options in the upper right portion of the screen and set the process starter to everything changeable. Leave the other set to changable original or set to no changes to lock that portion down.
That should get you around your current issue.
As an added check, us table RSPCCHAIN to figure out if the whole chain is ready and active for migrating. Plug in the chain technical name and set the version to A and if the number of entries matches the number of processes all processes are active and ready to be migrated.
