Changing Source LO Report

We have a spreadsheet that is linked back to a Webi document. However we have since upgraded and need to repoint the spreadsheet to the same document but on the new system.

Could someone explain how we can do this?

thanks

Haven’t worked with it for an age…but…isn’t it as simple as just pointing to the relevant webservice path, on the new server, in the LO properties?

Hi - yes I did that but for some reason it hasn’t updated since the day we migrated. It seems that although it’s connecting to the new system it isn’t seeing the report on the new system.

Is the Access URL set properly in the Web Services Application setting?

yep definitely - it points to the new system. Was wondering whether it’s something to do with the Audit database…?

Can you see the migrated report when creatinga new LO doc?

Could it possibly be a permissions issue, as to why you cannot see the new Webi with the “old” LO report?

Nailed it. On migration the old Audit DB was copied across to the new server along with the new DB. Just needed to repoint the connection in the DFX to the new DB.

Thanks for all your help.
