Relocating Database for BizObj XI3.0

Question

I was asked to assist in a project where our DBAs are moving our Business Objects database to a new server, but the person who administers Business Objects isn't familiar with the backend to point Business Objects to the new database location. I myself (a windows server admin) am not familiar with business objects at all, but I see a utility called a Central Configuration Manager which appears to have two databases configured, a CMS System database and an Auditing database.  Are these the only two databases that make up Business Objects? And is it as simple as just pointing these two fields under the CCM to the new location once the DBAs move the databases? Or is there more involved?
If anyone can point me to a document that might explain this if its more involved, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been doing all sorts of searching and even came across a migration guide but it doesn't appear to apply to what we're running.

Answer 1

Business Objects has Repository DB where all objects metadata is stored -- CMS DB and Audit DB where system activities are stored.
If those are moved by the DBA, yes, in  Central Configuration Manager simply point those 3 fields to new locations and you're done (provided the DB drivers can connect there).
Then there are reporting databases, from where BO gets reporting data.
If those are moving too, then it would be more complex to re-point and depends on the type of reporting being done.
The good document is the Admin guide and data access guide, bit can be found at help.sap.com , then analytics, all, select language and then from drop down pick Business Objects Enterprise and version.
