Pointing the WebI Report to Prod system after migrating from Dev

After migrating the WebI report from BWD (or even BWQ) to BWP, you will get this error if you try to run the report:
“A database error occurred. The database error text is: The SAP SSO authentication process will fail because the current user doesn’t have an alias that matches system BWDCLNT… (WIS 10901)”

                                         Fig 1 - Database error when running a WebI Report   It is time to point this report to the BWP universe as it is still pointing to BWD. Follow these steps.



My environment:

SAP BW 7.01
SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 (WebI)
Webi Report built on top of a Universe which is on top of a BEx query

1. Open your Universe Designer and from the Tools menu, select Connections







Fig 2 – Universe Designer Tools option

 

    2.    Select your connection from the list and then click Edit

 

Fig 3 - Wizard Connection - Connection List

 

 3.   This will open up the Edit Connections, here you will have to change the connections parameters

 

Fig 4-1 - Edit Connections - Login Parameters [2-4]

 

 

 4.   The changed parameters should reflect BWP info and then click Next

5.   On the next screen, select the universe that your WebI report should be pointing to

6.   On the next screen, just click Finish

7.   You will come back to the Connection Wizard, here highlight the Connection and then click Test

       You should get this confirmation
