Migration from WEBI 2.7.2 to WEBI 2.7.5

Hi,

We want to migrate our WEBI server from 2.7.2 to 2.7.5
Currently, our users have BO 5.1.6 versions on client and they use Infoview or BO access under .key or rkey files.

What the step of the procedure to do correctly the migration ?

Did a user with BO 519 client can access to a WEBI server 2.7.2 with .rkey file ?

Regards :wink:

I don’t recall the migration steps. I think to upgrade the server itself, you just put in the CD and allow it to do the upgrade. There should be installing/upgrade documentation with the PDFs for the version.

Your WebI/Infoview users won’t see a difference.

If your BusinessObjects full-client users were installed from a CD, and you want them to be able to use 3-tier mode via the rkey – I believe you’ll have to upgrade them to 5.1.9.

If they were installed via the WebI server (ZABO, it’s usually called) – they’ll have to log into the WebI server and either edit a BusinessObjects query from the repository, or try to create a new query to get upgraded.

I do not think that 5.1.9 users will be able to access a 2.7.2 server – nor 5.1.6 users to access the 2.7.5 server, either.
