BO Migration from BO v4x

[fabienzan]

Looking for documentation to migrate from BO v4x to BO XI R3.1

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think there is any direct migration documentation available.

The best that you can probably do is to get 4.x - 5.x/6.x from someone working in SAP - it's no longer publicly available. Secondly, then get a second set of documents for the migration from 5.x/6.x to XI.

Take a look at this BOB forum thread.

Here's a document I have from an old migration project. It was designed to:

The Report Migration Utility enables you to migrate BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence documents to WebIntelligence version 6.5 (.wid format). The primary purpose of the Report Migration Utility, however, is to convert WebIntelligence version 2.x WebIntelligence (.wqy) to version 6.5 WebIntelligence (.wid) documents.

I don't think you can migrate from 4x to 6x or later. Don't you have to rewrite your server-side 4x reports into webi?

Hope that helps
