Using Import Wizard in BO XI R2 -- Part 2

Continued >>>>>>> from Using Import Wizard in BO XI R2 -- Part 1

FIG 6 - Import Wizard – Screen 5

Just click Next on this screen, as this is just a notification in case you have chosen to import Universes.

FIG 9 - Import Wizard – Screen 8

FIG 11 - Import Wizard – Screen 10

This screen again is a notification screen, click Next

FIG 12 - Import Wizard – Screen 11

This screen is displayed just before the reports are imported. Here you should make sure that the number of objects selected are same you have actually done in screen 9. Click Next.

FIG 13 - Import Wizard – Screen 12

This screen again shows the progress and the number of reports that are migrated. Here you can also view the logs. Then click done and then click Finish.

4) Now once this task is completed, you should logon to the destination CMC and check if the reports have been migrated or not.

5) One thing to note is to verify if the reports are being migrated to same folder to a different folder. If it is the same folder, then another copy of the report folder is created and subscript (2) is attached. In any case, you will have to go to the

In this we will need to move these reports from “Reports Home (2)” to “Reports Home”. Before this make sure you re-name the original reports in “Reports Home” as “Old – Crystal Report 1”, “Old – Crystal Report 2” and “Old – Crystal Report 3” since one will need this to check some other information (like database info, Scheduling info, Notification … etc) before they are finally deleted.

This is a sure way of not doing any mistake before deleting any reports from production. So you will go to this path: Home > Folders > Reports Home (2) and check the reports, and then click on Copy/Move/Shortcut.

Here, select “Move to” and then highlight on the original folder “Reports Home” and then click OK.

Now the reports will be in the original folder.

One can conveniently delete “Reports Home (2)” now.
