How to import only specific report from LCMBIAR file

server administration XI Server Discussion
#1

Hi all,

I’m on my way to BI4.2SP7.

After reading pages and pages about backup and restore activities from BOB, SAP notes, BI4 guides, blogs, I thought I found my backup strategy !

  1. full backup at server level (CMS DB + FRS + other configuration files) for disaster recovery

  2. exports using lcm_cli to generate LCMBIAR files to use in case of accidental loss

Unfortunately, Promotion Management Wizard won’t let me select what I want to recover from a LCMBIAR file… I can see a “Selective content promotion” button, but it is not active…

Did I miss something ?

Is it actually possible to do selective content promotion in LCMBIAR to live system scenario ?

If not, how do you manage the recovery of one single user report ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Regards.

I think you may be able to restore a single file using Promotion Management in the CMS.
