Report Import Wizard

Hi,
I'm using SAP BO version 8.8 PL 18.
When using Report and layout manager -> Report & Layout Import Wizard -> I specify the file (.rpt) for import and I choose Report as the type, then the wizard is stuck.
Please I need your help, Thank you.

Hi,
Your steps are correct. Please check again that whether you are selecting the folder to save the report by clicking the browse (...) button or not.
Regards,
Bala

Report and Layout Import Wizard does not work

We used the Report and Layout Import Wizard extensively in 8.80 with no problems encountered.
We are now upgraded to 8.81 PL07. This is the first attempt at using the wizard in 8.81. The intro window of the wizard, with 'To Start, use the "Next" button' message is as far as I can get. The "Next" and "Cancel" buttons are inoperative - when I click them, there is no response (but they are not greyed out). The program has not crashed - I can move the window, and the "X" close button at top right works, but nothing else does. I am logged in as a superuser, running B1 in an RDP session on the server, same as under 8.80.
Any ideas out there?

Hi,
This is a 8.81 PL07 bug!
I had the same problem this week, and i found the note [1615932 - Buttons "Cancel" and "Next" are inactive in Report and layout import wizard window], that says that it is corrected on PL08!

Migrating a webi report from one environment to another using import wizard

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please tell me what all access should I have on my ID to be able to migrate a webi report from one environment to another environment(e.g. from development to quality).
Regards,
Neeraj Sharma

Hi,
To use the Import Wizard utility, you basically need Administrator, Full Control to Top-level folder, and "Add objects to the folder" and "Edit objects" for this user on the root folder.
You need the least restrictive role, because you require absolute control for content promotion between 2 entitlement systems.
the webi document is the cherry on-top, you;ll have universes, connections, folders to bring over too.

H
p.s. check Note 1450708 - How to restrict access to the Import Wizard from a Business Objects Enterprise system
and
Note 1297121 - What rights needed to use Biar File Extraction for a normal user while using Import Wizard ?

Dll import wizard won't go past "Configure include paths"

In the LabVIEW 8.5 version of the "Shared Library Import Wizard" I'm unable to proceed past the "Configure include paths" screen. I get a dialog that reads "Parsing header file" butI am returned to the"Configure Include Paths" screen.
The library imported without error in LabVIEW 8.2.1.
There is no "Report Generation Toolkit" installed.

I can confirm that I am able to use the "Call Library Function"
nodes and that there are no errors indicated when running the wizard. I
get up to the "configure_paths" screen and when I click Next I am shown
the "parse_dialog" screen momentarily but am returned to the
"configure_paths" screen after about 3 seconds.
I have
tried an install on another machine with identical results. The .dll I
am importing was created in MS Visual Studio Express 2008 and imports
well under LabVIEW 8.2.1's import wizard.

BO XI 3.1 FP 3.4 : Import wizard gives error when trying to import users

Hi all,
I tried to import BO users from backup repo to production repo using the import wizard.
The import failed with message
Committing the export object to the destination CMS failed. Reason: Fehler beim Senden der Objekte an Server:
Fehler beim Erstellen.
However, all other objects (universes, public folders, public reports, ...) become imported without any problem
Env:
server platform : AIX 5.3
database : DB2 V 9.5
BO version : 3.1 SP3 (12.3.0) client and 3.1 FP 3.4 (12.3.4) server
Since source and destination versions are the same, problems with version migration are unlikely.
Studying other forum threads, gave indication that there are problems if the license type (concurrent use vs. named user) are different. This is not the case - both system user named user licenses.
Does somebody have an idea on how resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Dennis,
I tried to update the clients but that didn't work. The installer found a patch with newer date and refused to continue. Trying to get rid of that problem, I removed the client software and re-installed it afterwards - but this problem with the newer patch remained.
I opened a case @ BO support to investigate this problem.
Thanks,
Robert

Import Wizard Question

Hi
We are planing to migrate from R1 to R2 and plan to use the Import Wizard for the migration.
I notice that a new ID number is assigned to the imported objects in R2. We have some custom processes in place that key off of the R1 ID and would like to keep the R1 ID within R2 if possible.
When I say "ID number" I'm referring to the number in bold (2055).
frs://Input/a_007/008/000/2055/~ce143854e748aa220.rpt
Is it possible to import the object and retain the R1 ID number?
Thanks.

Also to note when you migrate via import wizard your si_id will always change as you stated whether migrating versions or from different environments. If you have objects that are referencing the si_id you should change that to the cuid. For instance if you plan to set up multiple environments and migrate data with the import wizard from DEV to Prod, this will always change the si_id. Therefore if you change these types of reports to key off the cuid then this will not be an issue. I'd need to know more specifics of how you are referencing the si_id to explain in more detail.

Tim

[XI 3.1] Import Wizard Error 21: RSS file does not exist

Hi,
I would like to migrate from 6.5 to 3.1. I would like trasfer universe and reports with Import Wizard. But I receive this error:

So I can' t see my universes and *.rep files.
What I can do?
Thanks

Hello
The following solution may work for u.
You may receive the above error message if BusinessObjects Enterprise tries to access database after the associated RSS file has been deleted or corrupted.You need to replace the deleted or corrupted RSS file with a clean copy of the file, either from another BusinessObjects Enterprise installation

Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi Experts,
Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Linda

Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
   a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
   b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
2) From Development server, to Training server.
   Same object names will be used in Training server.
   E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
3) From Development server, to Production server
   Same object names used in Production server.
From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Linda

Inbox and Personal docs not listed/imported with Import Wizard (XI R2 SP3)

Post Author: CFC
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
When using the Import Wizard to import personal and inbox documents from BO 6.5.3, the documents are not listed in the Import summary and are not found. I've read various posts on BOBJ, etc and have attempted the suggestiopns with both an account that exists and one that doesn't exist in XI. I've also attempted with selecting a corporate document in the mix, but no deal. It's like the wizard cannot see the files, even though I navigate directly to the folder they're in. Anyone have any suggestions????
Thanks!!

CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
I love it when the solution is this simple According to BO tech support, the Inbox and Personal documents WILL NOT be listed in the Summary page, but they WILL be imported. After clicking the Finish button (even though the reports aren't listed), you'll then see the documents listed when the Import Wizard fires up. It worked for me and Inbox and Personal documents came across fine.

CMS Administrator Import Wizard Help

Is there a way to grant privileges/permissions to a user so that the user can use the import wizard to migrate objects, LOV, reports with dynamic cascading parameters, etc? I am the administrator and one of our agencies is looking to use our enterprise servers, but they want/need to be able to use the import wizard without having access to other agency's objects.

Bill,
You can find the various guides at
http://help.sap.com/content/bobj/overview/index.htm
Select Business Objects Enterprise in the first dropdown and Business Objects Enterprise 3 in the second and you should find the installation and admin guides.

Using XI3.1 Import Wizard to Migrate from XIR2 to XI3.1 (Which options?)

We have installed XI3.1 on a new server environment. We are currently running XIR2 SP2 (Production).
Last week we copied everything from XIR2 to XI3.1 using the XI3.1 import wizard. The import wizard options we used were the default. We are now wanting to sync the data again from XIR2 to XI3.1 and not quite sure which options we should use.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Caroline,
We migrated again using "overwrite existing reports" everything seems to have updated fine. I'm in the process of checking things on XI3.1.
Thanks for your response.

Migration Errors while using import wizard

Hi,
I am very new to BO.
Currently we are migrating BO 6.1 b to BO XI R3 version. I am using Import Wizard tool.
I am logging into SOURCE and DESTINATION in import wizard as ADMIN and trying to import only Universe and Reports.
All Our Universes are under domain BO_UNV and Reports are under BO_RPT domain.
After all the steps in import wizard when i look into detail logs i see the following error messages..
for BO_UNV and BO_RPT domains ==> Reason: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Add objects to the folder' (ID: 1) for 'Root Folder' (ID: 23). Please contact your administrator if you require this right.
for Universe and reports ==> Cannot find parent object..
Please do needful.. i have been struggling with this for few days.. and cant go a head with migration

Hi kuhn,
Thanks for reply..
I have been trying with ADMIN credentials.. but could not find any progress..
My doubt is when i login into CMC , i am able to add new subfolders, but could not add folder under root one i.e All Folders in our environment.. what exactly are the rights i required for migration

BusinessObjects Enterprise XI r2 - Import Wizard

I am using BusinessObjects Enterprise XI r2 - Import Wizard to migrate reports from one platform to the next.
I need to be able to migrate only the universes associated with the report being migrated or not migrate the unviverses with the report. I can migrate them all at once.
My problem is when I un-check the flag to "import universes" the universes lose their link to the DB on the destination platform. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Gavin,
Also... you could try creating the BIAR file by only selecting a few objects and see if this works. As Tim has mentioned, size also becomes a problem.
I has this before, exporting everthing from enterprise into the BIAR file and then when I wanted to import it back to the same server i.e used it as a backup, the BIAR file size on disk was big, but when I wanted to get access to the content, it there was nothing... just a big file.
If the small selections are working for you, then created seperate BIAR files for the objects etc.
Regards
Jacques

Import wizard -Does the connection parameter gets changed to prod query

Hello all,
we are planning to use import wizard and move all the stuff from BOBJ dev to Bobj QA. All the universes created are based on SAP BI query.
When using the txport wizard we are basically doing the Select all and Importing all the options given by system. My question is - Would the universe start pointing towards queries that we have already transported from BW dev to BW qa (we are using sap authentication)?
Also when we select all will the user group, client created access levels and root/public folder all get transported?
We are getting a warning message "You have chosen to import server groups from source environment" - Server groups are imported w/o member services. After importing is complete you will have to manually add the desired server to the imported server groups. Failure to do so will render the server groups invalid, which will prevent any reports dependent on the server group from running succesfully......should we not import server groups?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Stratos,
Finally we were able to import our universes and reports. So once the import is done, do I need to open the designer under my QA authentication and then go to the parameters and edit the connection to point to BWQ server and system? Once we do the change save universe and export it to the BOBJ QA CMS?
Let me know.Thanks in advance

Import wizard between domains

Hi
I have a quick question:
We have a customerr who wants to use one domain for testing their BO universes (they want us to build the reports, universes etc. in our test environment at our location). But they of course wants their production system to be located at their location within their domain.
In this scenario we will have BO dev and test in one domain and and production in another domain.
My question will be:
Is it possible to use BO import wizard to run imports from one domain to another?
Thanks
På

If you are atalking AD domains, as long as the users can login to BO (such as when the domains are in the same forest) then there shouldn't be any issues. The only issues would occur if the users cannot access BO (since domain doesn't matter to BO)
If you were referring to old 6.5 document domains then I'm not sure. Let me know and I'll move this post to our legacy app section.
Regards,
Tim
