BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Importing information from BusinessObjects Enterprise 5.x or 6.x

If you have upgraded from BusinessObjects Enterprise 5.x/ 6.x, you can use the Import Wizard to import existing user accounts, groups, categories, Desktop Intelligence, Web Intelligence documents, universes, connection objects, universe restriction sets, and third-party documents to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2.

Importing Application Foundation objects to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI

The Import Wizard publishes the following objects from Application Foundation 6.1 and 6.5 as InfoObjects to the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI CMS:

• applications, menus and submenus
• corporate and personal dashboards
• corporate and personal analytics
• schedules and events
• links in dashboards to analytics or corporate documents
• universes used in metric definitions or referenced by migrated documents (and the corresponding connections)

As in previous versions, performance management products rely on a dedicated repository that stores performance management data as well as the CMS. When you migrate Application Foundation 6.1 or 6.5 to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, you must run the Import Wizard to import certain objects to the CMS. You must also upgrade the performance management repository in the Import Wizard if you are migrating from version 6.x, or after completion of the Import Wizard in the Repository section of the System Setup page if you are migrating from XI.

For details on migrating Application Foundation, refer to the BusinessObjects 5/6 to XI Release 2 Migration Guide.
