Hi,

Recently we migrated our Business Object Documents from one server (BI 4.0 SP4 Patch 6) to a new server (BI 4.1 SP3 Patch 2).  I wanted to share this experience and let you know where we struggled, so you can do it better!

We promoted the documents from BI 4.0 production to BI 4.1 development. And later on from BI 4.1 development to BI 4.1 acceptance and from acceptance to production.  So we could get rid off a lot of testing documents and other stuff not used anymore. However,  for some applications we had to promote as well from BI 4.0 development to BI 4.1 development.

>> log on to CMC BI 4.1 >> promotion management >> Settings >> Manage Systems >> Add system (BI 4.0 prd)

>> When you want to promote your documents from one system to another, you have to deal with connection changes.  In this case we promoted our BI 4.0 production to our BI 4.1 development.  So the connections of for example BW production should be realligned with BW development.  To handle this, you have to set your override settings. (Remember 1. DO)

>> log on to CMC BI 4.1 >> promotion management >> Overide Setting >> log on to the BI 4.0 production >> Scan

>> log off >> log on to the BI 4.1 development >> start editing your connections (select only one connection and the edit feature will come available) >> set the override "active" and SAVE.

(editing will be change BW production to BW development)

If you have as well good advise about this toppic, please, let me know and collaborate on this document.

Hi Koen,

Thanks for this great document!

I have a doubt about 'Override Name' OLAP connection in Destination system.

When I edit the OLAP connection in Destination system logged in, I can update the data about connection (ASHOST, SYSID, CLIENT,...) but not the name (Override Name).

For example: from BW_TEST to BW_QUA

do you this it could be a bug or is a normal behaviour?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hello,

I am facing a weird issue using promotion management on IE 11 that when I import an LCM file it hangs and I don't see any error message to debug. But when tried import using chrome as browser it works..

Can someone assist here on how to resolve and make it work on IE? the environment I am using is BI4.2 SP01

thanks,

Asif

Hi Asif, try in IE compatible mode. I guess IE 11 supported in compatible mode, need to check the PAM
