Moving WEBI reports from DEV to PROD

Hi

We have two separate enviroments; DEV and PROD these are on different servers. We are also using two separate repositories. and we also have the Same Universes in DEV and PROD Environments. I created a WEBI report in DEV with DEV Universe, working fine. I have a problem when i migrate(move) WEBI report from DEV to PROD. I moved the WEBI report Perfectly but the report is still pointing to DEV Universe. How do i change the report Universe to point to PROD Universe. i want to point this report to PROD Universe, in FullClient we can do this but in WEBI how do we change the Universe.

any help would be appreciated

Hi AMR,

Do you mean you have Dev and Prod universes in both your Dev and Prod repositories? That seems unusual.

If you’re using the two-repository method, you should be keeping all your Dev universes in the Dev repository and the Prod universes in the Prod repository. Then when you move a WebI report from the Dev repostiory to the Prod repository, it will automatically pick up the Prod universe.

There’s no way to switch a WebI report to point to a different universe.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your quick response. Yes we have the same universe in DEV and PROD(these two are in different servers) the only differece is DEV Universe is against the DEV Database and PPROD Universe is against the PROD Database. when we migrate the WEBI report from DEV to PROD it is not automatically pick up the PROD Universe. It is still pointing to DEV Universe. any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
AMR

Are you migrating your reports between domains or repositories? If between domains, then you can’t re-point the report to a different universe.

If you’re migrating between repositories, then it should work – but it can’t pick up a universe from a different repository…
