Getting Started
Getting Started Upgrading from BusinessObjects Enterprise
Upgrading from BusinessObjects Enterprise

This guide helps you in upgrading your Business Intelligence content and system data from versions of BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or XI Release 2 to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. Before you begin, it is important to understand the difference between upgrading and other software update options such as migration and importing. Upgrading consists of replacing components and files from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI with components and files from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. Migrating consists of moving from a version of Business Objects 5.x or 6.x to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. For more information on migrating from BusinessObjects 5.x or 6.x, or from WebIntelligence 2.x through 6.x, refer to the BusinessObjects 5.x/6.x to XI 3.1 Migration Guide. Importing consists of copying reports, report instances, users, groups, universes, universe connections, and other objects from one BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment to another.
The upgrade options that are available to you depend on your current deployment and your preferred method of updating.
Note:
Please ensure that all components of your BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment are at the same patch level before you start using the system. If the components are at different patch levels this may prevent them from communicating properly. If you are upgrading from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2, XI Release 2 MHF1 or XI Release 2 SP1, you must first upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 SP2 or higher before you upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. All versions of BusinessObjects Enterprise XI and XI Release 2 SP2 and higher are supported for upgrading to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1.
14
If you import events from a BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment, you must run an EventUpdater script to associate the imported events with the destination Central Management Server (CMS). If you are upgrading performance management InfoObjects from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, you also need to upgrade the Performance Management repository. This is accomplished from the Performance Management Setup page. Although it is recommended that you upgrade all your Desktop Intelligence clients to XI 3.1, you can continue using Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 clients against an XI 3.1 server during the upgrade phase.

Simple Upgrades
If the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 installation program detects a simple deployment, where an entire product line has been installed on a single computer, you can perform a simple upgrade to XI 3.1. In a simple upgrade to XI 3.1, the installation program performs the following steps: Installs BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. Points the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Input and Output File Repository Servers (FRS) to the location of the existing BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or XI Release 2 FRSs. Creates a new XI 3.1 CMS database, and then copies the contents of your existing CMS database to the XI 3.1 database. Updates all of the objects in the newly copied CMS database to XI 3.1 objects. Disables the existing XI or XI Release 2 system. If you perform a simple upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, the installation program automatically disables the previous XI system. After the upgrade is complete, the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 installation program asks you whether to uninstall the previous system. It is highly
15
recommended that you uninstall the previous version of the system as soon as you have verified that XI 3.1 has been successfully installed. If you choose to uninstall BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 later, you must ensure that the previous version's servers are not re-enabled and not re-started. In particular, enabling the older version of the CMS and File Repository Servers will conflict with the XI 3.1 system. If the installation program does not detect a simple deployment, you must perform a complex upgrade. This includes the scenario where your deployment's web and application servers are on separate computers.
Note:
This option is available only when upgrading on a Windows computer. If you are upgrading on a UNIX computer, you must perform a complex upgrade, even if you are upgrading from a deployment that has been installed on a single computer. If you are performing a simple upgrade, the installation program stops your existing XI or XI Release 2 CMS database. This means that your existing deployment will not be available during the upgrade process, and users will not be able to access BusinessObjects Enterprise.

Performing a simple upgrade on page 33
Complex upgrades
If the XI 3.1 installation program does not detect a simple deployment, or if you want to install XI 3.1 across multiple servers, you must perform a complex upgrade. In complex upgrades, you install a new BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 deployment, and then copy your content and system data from your existing BusinessObjects Enterprise XI deployment to the XI 3.1 deployment. You can install BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 on the same computer as your existing XI or XI Release 2 system, or on a separate computer. If you are performing a complex upgrade, you must manually perform the following steps after you've finished installing XI 3.1:
16
Import your existing XI or XI Release 2 Business Intelligence content to your XI 3.1 deployment, either by using the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) or by using the Import Wizard.
Note:
If you chose to import content through the CCM, you must also either re-point your XI 3.1 Input and Output File Repository Servers to the location of your existing repositories, or copy the contents of your existing repositories to the XI 3.1 repositories. Reconfgure and add the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 servers to the Central Management Server (CMS). Add the Search Index Program. Update any events that you copied to the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 deployment from your existing BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment. Configure the XI 3.1 auditing database.
The upgrade process does not copy server and server cluster settings to your new deployment. If your existing deployment is distributed across several servers or clusters, and you want to replicate the same environment for your XI 3.1 deployment, you must manually add the servers and clusters by using the CMS. For more information, see Managing and Configuring Servers chapter of the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide. Your BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 system can operate at the same time as your existing XI or XI Release 2 system, whether the deployments are on the same computers or not. When you are ready to, you can uninstall the XI or XI Release 2 system.

Upgrading from Crystal Enterprise

If you want to upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 or 10 directly to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, you must perform a complex upgrade. For detailed instructions, see the Performing a complex upgrade chapter of this guide. Simple upgrades are only supported from BusinessObjects XI or XI Release 2 with Service Pack 2 or higher. If you want to perform a simple upgrade to BusinessObjects XI 3.1, you must first upgrade your Crystal Enterprise 9 or 10 system to either BusinessObjects XI or XI Release 2 with Service Pack 2 or higher. For more information, refer to the Upgrading and Migrating chapter of the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Installation Guide or the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 Installation Guide.

It is recommended that you upgrade all of the components of your BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment to the same product version in order to use the full set of features that are available.
Note:
If some of the components in your deployment are at different product versions or patch levels, this may prevent them from communicating with a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Central Management Server properly. Previous versions of the following components may communicate with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, with reduced functionality: BI Widgets Live Office Business Views Manager You can install most of the newest versions of BusinessObjects client components side-by-side with the previous versions of these components. When you have tested the new versions and are sure that you no longer require the previous versions of these components, you can uninstall them.
20
Preparing for upgrades
Preparing for upgrades System requirements
It is highly recommended that you follow your usual administrative practices before upgrading to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. However, you should also consider the following common tasks and guidelines: Consult the What's New Documentation and the Architecture chapter in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Planning Guide for an overview of the changes in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. Consult the Release Notes included with your product distribution for further information that may pertain to your reporting environment (re lease.pdf). Review your systems to ensure that they meet the basic requirements for a BusinessObjects Enterprise installation. Stop the web servers and/or web application servers that are configured for use with BusinessObjects Enterprise. The installation program gives you the option of creating a new MySQL database or using an existing database for your BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 deployment's Central Management Server (CMS) database. If you are using an existing database, ensure that you have the connection details about the database server that you select, and logon credential information for the account used for connecting to the database instance. The database account requires permissions to add and drop tables, as well as to insert, delete, and update data in those tables. Back up your existing repository or repositories, including the system database and Input and Output File Repository Servers. Back up any custom web applications, HTML pages, or scripts that you have added to your existing deployment. Make sure you log onto the machine as an administrator first when you install or upgrade BusinessObjects Enterprise components. If you are upgrading on a Windows computer, you must log on with an administrator account. If you are upgrading on UNIX, you must log on as the same user that installed your previous BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment. Close any other programs that are running locally before you start the BusinessObjects Enterprise setup program.
22
Preparing for upgrades System requirements
System requirements
For a detailed list of supported environments and hardware requirements, consult the Products Availability Report (PAR) document available on the Business Objects support site http://support.businessobjects.com/documen tation/supported_platforms. This document includes specific version and patch-level requirements for web application servers, web browsers, and operating systems. For information related to the planning of a BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment, consult the BusinessObjects Enterprise Planning Guide. BusinessObjects Enterprise ships with the Tomcat web application server and MySQL database server. If you are planning to use a different web application or database server, it must be installed and configured before BusinessObjects Enterprise.

Category
Required permissions
Operating System Administrative privileges on the local machine. Network Network connectivity to all machines in the deployment, as well access to as the appropriate ports on each of the machines. Rights to create and drop tables, plus rights to read, write, and edit rows. For more information on the database privileges required, see Databases in BusinessObjects Enterprise in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Planning Guide. Use the same user account for installing both BusinessObjects Enterprise and your web application server, to reduce the likelihood of encountering a problem with access control settings.
Database
Web application server
Note:
The following scenarios are not supported: Installation on a domain controller. Installation on a Windows machine where the default local Administrator group security settings have been modified.
Choosing a web application server

When you install BusinessObjects Enterprise, you can choose to install Tomcat or use a pre-existing Java application server that is supported for the release. You can also use Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) to host the InfoView as well. The InfoView can be deployed to IIS 6, or to either the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IIS 7. Before selecting a web server to use with BusinessObjects Enterprise, assess your current environment and determine the platform on which to deploy BusinessObjects Enterprise. Determine whether you plan to develop custom applications and, if so, which web development environment to use. If you choose a pre-existing web application server, the server must be installed and working before you attempt to install BusinessObjects Enterprise BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 also includes a Web Application Container Server that can host the Central Management Console (CMC). WACS
24
Preparing for upgrades CMS Database requirements and preparation
provides an easier way to deploy, configure, and maintain the CMC, and removes the need for Java application server administration skills. There are two ways that you can install WACS: If you are performing a simple upgrade, if you choose not to deploy BusinessObjects Enterprise web applications to a Java application server, the installation program automatically creates a WACS server and then adds a CMC service to the server. The CMC is ready to use after you complete the installation. If you are performing a complex upgrade on a Windows machine, and chose a Custom or Expand install, you can choose to install WACS on the "Select Features" screen by expanding Server Components and selecting Web Application Container Server For more information on installing WACS, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Installation Guide. For more information on using WACS, see the Working with Web Application Container Servers chapter of the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide.
CMS Database requirements and preparation

BusinessObjects Enterprise requires a database to store Central Management Server (CMS) information about the system and its users. This database is referred to as the CMS, or system, database. The following sections detail required settings and how to test settings for: DB2 MySQL Microsoft SQL Server Oracle Sybase
Before installing BusinessObjects Enterprise, review this information in order to properly prepare your CMS system and auditing database. For more information on database requirements, refer to the Databases in BusinessObjects Enterprise section in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Planning Guide.
25
Note:
Regardless of database type, the database must be setup to use Unicode character encoding, such as UTF-8.
Setting up a database for the auditing database

Using a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or XI Release 2 auditing database as the auditing database for BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 is not supported. The BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 installation program does not copy the contents of the previous version's auditing database to the new auditing database. If you want to re-use the auditing database from a previous version of BusinessObjects Enterprise, the installation program re-initializes the database and permanently deletes all of its contents. In other words, if you specify the XI or XI Release 2 auditing database as the XI 3.1 auditing database, the contents of the previous version's database will not be available after the upgrade. If you want to keep the contents of your auditing database when you upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, you must create a new database instance for the XI 3.1 auditing database.

Configuring the auditing database on page 71
Using MySQL as the Central Management Server (CMS) database

MySQL is an open-source database included with BusinessObjects Enterprise that can be automatically installed and configured for use as the Central Management Server (CMS), or system, database. If you want to use an existing supported database server, you can enter connection and authentication parameters during the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation process.
26
To setup a database account for BusinessObjects Enterprise

The Central Management Server (CMS) uses a database to store system information. If you choose to install MySQL as part of your BusinessObjects Enterprise installation, a MySQL CMS database will be created for you. If you plan to use your own database, you should complete the steps listed below before installing BusinessObjects Enterprise. To create tables and write data to your new CMS database, the installation program needs to establish a connection to the database server. When you log on to the account being used to install BusinessObjects Enterprise, the environment must include the appropriate variables and database drivers to access your chosen database. Only then can the installation program access the CMS database using your database client software. 1. Create or select a user account that provides BusinessObjects Enterprise with the appropriate privileges to your database server. 2. Verify that you can log on to your database and that you have rights to add or remove database tables and to add, delete, or edit table rows with the user account.
Setting up an empty database for the CMS

If you want to use an existing database server as the Central Management Server (CMS) or auditing database, you must create a new tablespace or database before installing BusinessObjects Enterprise. The installer will prompt for the connection and authentication details if you choose to use your own database during the installation of BusinessObjects Enterprise. The following database servers are supported for the CMS system and audit databases: Microsoft SQL Server (ODBC) Oracle DB2 MySQL Sybase
27
Note:
Review the online BusinessObjects Enterprise supported platforms document for information related to supported database software and version requirements:http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/. To integrate your existing database with BusinessObjects Enterprise, you need to prepare it. Here is a summary of the steps to prepare your database: Create a new tablespace, schema, or database (the exact terminology will depend on the database platform you're using) to act as the CMS database. Create a second for the auditing database, if you plan to enable auditing. Create a new user account and password to be used by BusinessObjects Enterprise to access the CMS database. Create a second username and password if you plan to enable auditing. Specify that the new user account has required permissions to create, modify, and delete tables and create procedures so that database can be modified as required. Record the name of the database(s), the user account(s), and the password(s) you created, so you can enter the details when you run the BusinessObjects Enterprise installer.
During the installation, you can choose to reinitialize the existing database. This will cause new tables to be created in your existing database. Consult your specific database server documentation if you are unsure of the procedure for creating a new tablespace, schema, or database. Ensure that your database server is set up to use Unicode character encoding (such as UTF-8).
Note:
If you have a previous release of BusinessObjects Enterprise you cannot use your database from a previous release for BusinessObjects Enterprise. You must create a new database, or existing data from the previous release will be destroyed. To migrate from an previous release, create a new database migrate your old content to the new current version's database after the installation is complete.
DB2 database requirements

If you are using DB2 for the Central Management Console (CMC) or auditing database:
28
Ensure that the CMS database is not partitioned.

Note:
The auditing database can be partitioned. Create the database with these settings:
Collating Sequence = Identity Codeset = UTF-8 Territory = XX
If your DB2 database does not have the correct Collating Sequence setting, the user and usergroup objects may not sort properly in the CMC. Replace XX with the code that is appropriate for your location. Consult your DB2 documentation for more information. If you are using DB2 8.1, you require a C compiler that is installed and configured to build SQL stored procedures. DB2 8.2 through version 9.1 do not have this requirement. Stored procedures are used by BusinessObjects Enterprise when users are added to groups. Please consult the DB2 documentation for details on how to configure the C compiler for SQL stored procedures.
Once the database is created, you will need to prepare it for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation.

Oracle database requirements

If you are using Oracle for the CMS or auditing database: Use a Unicode character set, such as UTF-8. Once the database is created, you will need to prepare it for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation.
Related Topics
29
Sybase database requirements

If you are using Sybase for the CMS or auditing database: Create a database with a page size of 8 KB. The Sybase database default page size is 2KB, which is too small for the CMS system database to run efficiently. The page size is set up during the database creation and cannot be changed after the database is created. Use a Unicode character set, such as UTF-8. Once the database is created, you must prepare it for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation.

MySQL database requirements

If you are using your own MySQL installation for the CMS or auditing database: Use a Unicode character set, such as UTF-8. Once the database is created, you will need to prepare it for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation.

Preparing an existing database server

After you have created your database, setup the database client, and before you install BusinessObjects Enterprise, ensure that the Central Management Server (CMS) can connect to it. During your installation, you will be asked whether you want to install MySQL or use an existing database. If you opt to use an existing database, you will be asked for the connection and authentication details by the BusinessObjects Enterprise installer:
Existing Information required by installer database Database name Server name Port number (default is 3306) Login credentials used to access database Server name Login credentials used to access database
MySQL
Note: Sybase The Sybase server name is a combination of the host name and the port number which is set by your database administrator in the file sql.ini interfaces file. BusinessObjects Enterprise will connect to the default database for the user you specify. This default is set by the database administrator.

Performing a complex upgrade Copying data to your XI 3.1 deployment
In a complex upgrade, you install a new deployment of BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, either on the same computer as your previous BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment or on another computer. You can copy the data from your previous deployment to the new one. After BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 is installed, both deployments can run at the same time. You can uninstall your XI or XI Release 2 deployment when you are ready to do so. After you install XI 3.1, you must perform the following steps: Copy the content from your XI or XI Release 2 deployment to your XI 3.1 deployment, either through the Central Configuration Manager or through the Import Wizard. Manually add and configure any necessary servers and server clusters. Enable your BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 services. Add the Search Indexing Program. Update any events that you copied to the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 deployment from your existing BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment. Configure the XI 3.1 auditing database. For more information on installing BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 on a Windows computer, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Installation Guide for Windows. For more information on installing BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 on a UNIX computer, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Installation Guide for UNIX.
Note:
When you are copying content to your XI 3.1 deployment, users will still be able to access the existing XI or XI Release 2 deployment. However, any new content that is added to the existing deployment after the process of copying data has started will not be copied to the new deployment. Therefore, it is recommended that you prevent users from accessing your existing XI or XI Release 2 deployment once the process of copying your data has started. The default CMS port number is 6400. If you are installing XI 3.1 on the same machine that has an XI or XI Release 2 deployment, and you want to import content from the existing deployment to the XI 3.1 deployment,
56
you must select a different port number than the port that the existing deployment uses. If you are installing XI 3.1 on a machine that already has an existing XI or XI Release 2 deployment, you must specify a different port number for the XI 3.1 CMS database.

Copying data to your XI 3.1 deployment

When you perform a complex upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 the installation program gives you the option of creating a new Central Management Server (CMS) database for the deployment, or specifying an existing database to use as the CMS database. If you are performing a complex upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, you must copy your Business Intelligence content from your existing XI or XI Release 2 CMS database to your XI 3.1 CMS database. You can do this either through the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) or by using the Import Wizard. Copying the CMS data through the CCM copies all the objects of the CMS at once, so it is the simplest and quickest solution if you want to copy your entire CMS database contents. The Import Wizard gives you the ability to select and copy specific objects from a CMS, so it is the best option if you want to only import a `subset of the source objects into the XI 3.1 system.
Note:
When you use the CCM to copy the contents of a database, it re-initializes the destination database. This means that any data in the destination database is deleted. If you are copying data from a source database, and
57
want to preserve any data that already exists in the destination database, you must use the Import Wizard. If you are using the CCM to copy your content to your XI 3.1 deployment, you must perform the following steps. Use the CCM to copy the data from your existing CMS database to your XI 3.1 CMS database. Either re-point the XI 3.1 Input and Output File Repositories to the locations of the existing repositories, or copy the files in the existing file repositories to the XI 3.1 file repositories. Use the CCM to update the objects in your CMS repository. This step adds the properties to the objects copied from the CMS that XI 3.1 requires.
Note:
If you've performed a simple upgrade, the installation program automatically copies your content to your XI 3.1 deployment.
Copying data from your existing CMS system database

If you install a new BusinessObjects Enterprise system alongside your original installation, whether on the same machine or on another machine, you can use the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) to copy system data from the existing XI or XI Release 2 CMS database into your BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 CMS database. The destination database is initialized before the new data is copied in, so any existing contents of the destination database are permanently deleted (all BusinessObjects Enterprise tables are destroyed permanently and then recreated). Once the data has been copied, the destination database is established as the current database for the CMS.
Tip:
If you want to import users, groups, folders, and reports from one system database to another, without deleting the contents of the current CMS database, use the Import Wizard. For more information, click Help in the Import Wizard.
58
Note:
If you performed a simple upgrade, the installation program performs this step automatically. If you are using the Import Wizard to import content from your existing deployment, it is not necessary to perform these steps.
To copy a CMS system database on Windows

Before you copy the contents of the CMS database, ensure that you can logon to the destination database with an account that has permissions to add or drop tables, and to add, drop, or modify data in those tables.
Note:
If you are copying a CMS database from an XI 3.1 source destination to an XI 3.1 target destination, you can change the CMS location, name, and database type. However, you cannot change the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation path, operating system, and machine name. 1. Open the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) and stop the Server Intelligence Agent (SIA). 2. Right-click the SIA and choose Properties. 3. Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify. 4. Choose Copy, then click OK. 5. Choose the version information for the source CMS database. 6. Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify its database information (including host name, user name, and password). 7. Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then specify its database information (including host name, user name, and password). 8. When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK. 9. If you are upgrading from an earlier version than XI 3.1, you will be prompted to build a Server Intelligence Agent. a. Click OK. b. Specify the administrator password, and then click OK. c. When the SIA is built, click OK. 10. Proceed to Copying file repository server data on page 61 .
59
To copy data from a CMS installed on UNIX

Use this procedure if your Central Management Server (CMS) is installed on UNIX and you are copying data from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or XI Release 2. Before to copy the contents of the CMS database, ensure that you can logon to the destination database with an account that has permissions to add or drop tables, and to add, drop, or modify data in those tables.
Note:
On UNIX you can not migrate directly from a source environment that uses an ODBC connection to the CMS database. If your source CMS database uses ODBC, you must first upgrade that system to a supported native driver. 1. Stop the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 CMS by typing the following command: ./ccm.sh -stop sia 2. Run cmsdbsetup.sh (located in <InstallDirectory>/bobje/, by default). 3. Select the copy option (option 4), then confirm your choice. 4. Select the version information for the source CMS database. 5. Select the database type for the source CMS database, then specify its database information (including host name, user name, and password). 6. Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then specify its database information (including host name, user name, and password). The CMS database is copied to the destination machine. A message appears when the copy is complete. 7. If you are upgrading from an earlier version than XI 3.1, you will be prompted to build a Server Intelligence Agent. Specify the administrator password. A message appears when the SIA is built. 8. Proceed to Copying file repository server data on page 61 .
60
Copying file repository server data

When you install BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, new Input and Output File Repositories are created. For your XI 3.1 deployment to be able to access the content in your existing file repositories, you need to either repoint the XI 3.1 file repositories to the XI or XI Release 2 repositories, or copy the contents of the XI or XI Release 2 repository folders to the XI 3.1 repository folders.
Note:

Updating imported events
After you import events to a destination Central Management Server (CMS), you must run the EventUpdater script. This script updates the imported events by associating them with the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x event servers that they are to run on. If you do not run this script, you must manually re-associate the events with event servers, by navigating to every imported event and associating it with an event server. If you are importing events from more than one event server, you must run the script once for each event server that you are importing the events from. On a Windows computer, the script is called EventUpdater.bat, and is located in the c:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\scripts\ folder by default. On a UNIX computer, the script is called EventUpdater.sh, and is located in the ./bobje/ directory. The following table describes the parameters for the script.
Parameter Description
-olde The friendly name of the event server on the system that the ventserver event was exported from. -new eventserv er -cms -user -password -authenti cation The name of the event server on the XI 3.x system that you want to associate the event with. The name of any CMS on the XI 3.x destination system. The username for a BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator account. The password for the BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator account. The authentication method. The accepted values are secEnter prise, secWinAd, and secLdap.
1. Locate the appropriate script, depending on your platform. 2. Run the script with the necessary parameters.
68
On Windows, run
c:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enter prise 12.0\win32_x86\scripts\eventupdater.bat" -olde ventserver <old event server friendly name> -neweventserv er <new event server name> [-cms <cms>] [-user <username>] [-password <password>] [-authentication secAuthType]
On UNIX, run
./bobje/eventupdater.sh -oldeventserver <old event server friendly name> -neweventserver <new event server name> [-cms <cms>] [-user <username>] [-password <pass word>] [-authentication secAuthType]

Using the existing BusinessObjects Enterprise XI auditing database with the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 auditing database is not supported. When you perform an upgrade to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, the installation program does not copy the contents of your existing auditing database. If you want to keep the contents of the previous auditing database intact, specify a new database for the XI 3.1 auditing database. You need to recreate all settings for the XI 3.1 version of the auditing database. For more information on configuring the auditing database, see the Managing Auditing chapter of the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide.

Using Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
Using Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 To set up Desktop Intelligence Release 2 and XI 3.x interconnectivity
Although it is recommended that you upgrade all your Desktop Intelligence clients to Desktop Intelligence XI 3.x, you can continue using Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 clients against a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x server during the upgrade phase. You can continue to use Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 clients to connect to an XI 3.xCentral Management Server (CMS), and to create, view, and edit Desktop Intelligence XI 3.x documents that use either of the following. XI Release 2 universes. XI 3.x universes that are based on XI Release 2 universe connections. You can also use Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 and XI 3.x clients on the same computer. Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 does not work with universes that are based on XI 3.x universe connections. Desktop Intelligence XI 3.x clients work with both XI Release 2 and XI 3.x universes and universe connections. However, you cannot use Desktop Intelligence XI 3.x to connect to an XI Release 2 CMS, or to use Desktop Intelligence documents through an XI Release 2InfoView.
Note:
It is highly recommended that you upgrade to Desktop Intelligence XI 3.0 clients. Desktop Intelligence Release 2 and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x interconnectivity should only be used to make the upgrade BusinessObjects Enterprise 3.x easier. Do not use the Central Management Console (CMC) or Designer XI 3.x to edit XI Release 2 universe connections. Using the CMC or Designer to edit an XI Release 2 universe connection will convert the universe connection to an XI 3.x format, and break compatibility. Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 clients will not be able to use the XI 3.x universe connections.
To set up Desktop Intelligence Release 2 and XI 3.x interconnectivity

To use Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 with Release 2 universe connections and an XI 3.x CMS, you must perform the following steps when you upgrade to XI 3.x.
74
1. Before you start to upgrade to XI 3.x, ensure that the XI Release 2 deployment has the universe connections that Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 will use. If the XI Release 2 deployment does not have the required universe connections, create the connections using Designer XI Release 2. 2. Use the Import Wizard to import Desktop Intelligence documents, universes, and universe connections to the XI 3.x CMS. The Import Wizard converts the XI Release 2 universes that you import to XI 3.x universes, but it keeps the related universe connections in XI Release 2 format.

Upgrading Performance Management objects to XI 3.1
Upgrading Performance Management objects to XI 3.1 Upgrading your Performance Management repository
The Import Wizard and the Central Management Console (CMC) copy performance management InfoObjects from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or XI Release 2 to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1. As in previous versions, performance management products rely on a dedicated repository that stores performance management data as well as the CMS. To copy performance management objects to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, follow these steps: Install BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 and configure the Central Management Sever (CMS). Run the Import Wizard to copy InfoObjects from the previous version and to import connections to the connection server. For more information, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Import Wizard Guide. Upgrade the performance management repository.
